Do you find you want to wait until after the holidays before you start your weight loss plan?  

If you wait until next year to lose your weight, you may never begin to achieve the weight control you have always wanted.  

The following are my ten top tips to get you into tip top shape as you navigate through the holidays.  

1. Always remember this. “You are on your own.”  Do not wait your friends to join you in a weight reduction group. Weight control is an individual sport. The best time to begin is today.  

2. Physical stress builds over the holidays. Get more exercise. When you go shopping, park your car far away from the stores. Walk 25% faster than you normally do. You need to increase your physical activity in order to reduce stress.  

3. Change your television viewing time into stress reduction time. Every time commercials appear on your television, use the mute button on your remote and practice deep breathing exercises. Use the 17 or 20 minutes of commercial time each viewing hour to focus on reducing stress and focusing on your goal weight.  

4. Start a new holiday tradition of going hiking, ice skating, swimming in an indoor pool, working out in a gym, or taking an exercise class at an adult education facility. Chop wood and shovel snow to help the elderly keep warm and stay safe over the holidays.  

5. Avoid any “pot luck” dinners. People love to create fatty and sugary concoctions over the holidays. There are reasons government health inspectors cite restaurants for unhealthy food preparation conditions. You have no assurance of the sanitary conditions of your pot luck contributors. If you did not make the food, consider it unsafe.  

6. Avoid all you can eat and buffet restaurants. You will always take more than what you can eat and feel pressured into eating everything on your plate.  

7. Avoid consuming alcohol as much as possible. People get physically depressed over the holidays. Consuming alcohol will enhance rather than reduce the depression. You will gain more weight as alcoholic beverages also contain sugar and fat. In addition it is difficult to keep from eating more food when you are consuming alcoholic beverages.  

8. Drink more water than you think you need. In the winter time in the Northern Hemisphere, where I live, people do not drink much water because of the cold winter climate. Your body needs water to survive. Also, by drinking water you will reduce your cravings for food. If you are not craving food then you may not feel you need to eat food.  

9. Do not expect your friends and relatives to support you in your quest for a healthy life. Look around you. Are your associates healthy and in good physical shape? If not, do not expect them to support your quest for good health. Go out and get healthy and then you will be a positive role model and mentor to your friends. Get healthy and save a live or two.

10. Take Action Now! Do not wait to lose your weight, tomorrow, next week or next month. Procrastination involves stress. You will reduce stress and reduce your weight by taking action now!  

Summary: Follow these ten steps for losing and controlling your weight for the holidays. Enjoy your holidays and your life.
