It's the most wonderful time of the year. It can be for some of us, while others totally dread the holiday season. The holidays are filled with seeing long-lost family and friends and maybe spending a little too much time with the family you are obligated to see. No matter what your family and friend situation may be, we all face the dreaded “holiday weight.”
During this time of year, I hear my patients tell me that there are so many treats around the office, and they find themselves going to parties here and there, which is why they have put on weight. Once the new year rolls around, they will get back on the diet wagon. But my comeback question is always, “Why do you take a two-month break from your diet?” In this scenario, many people are letting bad habits form in that time, which makes them harder to break come January.
