Happy, healthy holiday tips - Alter your environment

We know in our hearts that despite our best intentions we will want to eat the foods we associate with celebrations. Save those foods for times of celebration with friends and family. If you prepare them at home, freeze them or put them in sealed containers out of sight until time to serve them. At a party, fill your plate as you wish, then walk away from the buffet table. Find someone interesting to talk to and forget about the food for a while.
