We are more likely to participate in sedentary activities, like watching the television, when it becomes cold outside.

It is much easier to make smart choices when we are not tempted by aU the sights and smells of food. • Offer to bring a fruit platter or tray of vegetables so there will be something low calorie for you to munch on. • Choose the one or two favorite items that you only have at holi day time and aUow yourself to in clude these treats at parties.

IESS be faced with fewer choices and may not be confronted with too many temptations. • Focus on the reason for the celebration to talk to friends, meet new people and share the warm spirit of the holiday. Make socializing, not eating the high light of the party. • Ask for low calorie, low alco hol beverages and always keep a glass in your hand. This will pre vent well meaning hosts from con tinually asking you if you need something. Remember that alco hol can increase your caloric in take and lower your resistance to foods. If you are hosting the party, you have control over the menu and can include low caloric selections. The temptation to overeat comes while preparing the foods or deal ing with leftovers. Tty these sug gestions when you are the host • Set aside a small portion for tasting the dish and limit yourself to this amount • Drink plenty of water or low calorie beverage to give you a feeling of fullness. * Buy some disposable alumi num pans and custom-make your own TV dinners to eat later. Seal them with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil, label and date them before placing them in the freezer. • Package your leftovers and give them to your guests. ■ Package any nibbles, such as chips and snack foods, into small sandwich bags. Limit yourself to one bag a day. Remember to stay physically active during the holidays. #3 FOOD CHOPPER STUFFER HORN AVAILABLE IN VARIOUS SIZES
