Don't Arrive on Empty

It's tempting to fast before a holiday party or meal, but this is not a sustainable way to support a healthy lifestyle. If you're feeling ravenous when you sit down to eat, then you'll be far less likely to eat slowly or with any sort of mindful perspective. Whether you're prepping the meal in your kitchen or you're traveling to a relative's home, having food in your system will keep your mood and will power up.

It's funny that you made this slide show, because I made a video all about HEALTHY replacements for your crazy unhealthy dishes on Thanksgiving! http://gigieatscelebrities.com/2012/11/20/thanks-for-giving-me-a-fat-ass-thanksgiving/

My holiday healthy survival tip: Be the Host/Hostess We host every Thanksgiving. And it is the holiday that I eat the least. I try everything while preparing it, to make sure it's scrumptious. We definitely don't scrimp on the decadence. So there is no saving calories on food. For me after prepping the day ahead, getting the house ready, cooking the day of, and making sure the guests are all happy I just do not have much of an appetite. Plus, I've already sampled everything. So I always clear the table feeling pretty good. And I always have room for dessert. :)
