Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition, brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness.

Well, we are into the holiday season, and tis the season for parties, family get-togethers, and even work celebrations, all kinds of festivities, right, Leah?

Yep, it's here.

With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, New Year's all ahead,

we are certainly faced with more food challenges this time of year than maybe other times

of the year.

What I hear from many of my clients is worry.

They're thinking, how can I maintain these good eating habits I've been working so hard on

so I don't regain the weight I've lost or go backwards on the progress that I've made.

They don't want this fun holiday season to sabotage all those efforts.

They also don't want to stay home avoiding all possibility of a run-in with sugar or foods and

drinks that could possibly cause that loss of progress,

like they're worried about.

What they want to know is, how do I manage or how do I balance all of this?

My name is Teresa Wagner, and I am a registered and licensed dietitian.

You may see me pop up on the Dishing Up Nutrition Facebook page every once in a while.

I answer questions or sometimes I post short videos.

And I would love to have you join me there.

All you have to do is hop on Facebook, search Dishing Up Nutrition, and click the

join button. It's a private group, so you just have to answer a few quick questions,

you know, agree to the group rules, right? And basically it's just be kind of courteous.

Yep. And then after you do that, all you do is click submit.
