Hello, hello, my beautiful people, and welcome back to another episode of Hot Healthy,

never hungry. We are inching closer and closer to the Christmas holiday, which is really

exciting. And as we inch closer and closer, this is really the time of

year where there is just oftentimes a lot going on. A lot of people want to gather together.

You might be getting invited to go out to eat with old friends or family members.

You might have a lot of pre-planned celebrations. And maybe it's not even right now.

Like, I actually think come the middle of the wintertime is also when like after the winter holiday,

oftentimes like sometimes there's like weddings that pop up in events. And whether it's the holidays

or just really the time of year where people are gathering together.

I know social situations that involve dinners and parties can be really anxiety provoking for a lot of

women. You not only don't want to sabotage your progress, of course, but you also don't want to

unintentionally gain weight because it's tough because you're getting pulled in this direction where you might be a foodie, you might like going out to eat. I know for myself, like, getting these little opportunities to have alcohol and like let loose a little bit is really fun. But at the same time, I don't want to gain 10 pounds on the scale and hate the way that I look. I don't want to get further off track from the weight I want to lose, and I really can almost time travel back to last year when I had not achieved the 50 pounds down

postpartum, which has been a big goal that I had since having my daughter. And it took me one

and a half years post having her to actually finally lose all of the weight,

the baby weight, but also just the excess body fat that I had gained.

And you want to enjoy yourself, but you also just don't want to get off track.

So that's why I wanted to do an episode today on how to really survive the upcoming holiday gatherings that you may have that may involve

alcohol, that may involve food pushers, that of course involve festive foods that you might

only get during a certain time of year. But I also want to say these tips might be really

relevant if you have a wedding or another type of event or celebration coming up in

January, February, or March this year, this whole winter season that oftentimes food is,

you know, food is flowing. Drinks are boring. Like, these are tips that really can help you all year
