Here are a few tips to help you maintain your weight despite the many temptations that this time of the year offers. Never go to a party hungry. Have a healthy nutritious snack or drink some water to fill up before you walk in.

-Concentrate on something other than food in the party. For example you can chat with your friends or indulge in such activities as singing or dancing.
-When dinner is served buffet- style choose the smallest available plate and make healthy food choices like salads with little or no fat dressings, fresh fruits and vegetables.
-Do not drink too much alcohol. Alcoholic drinks are not only calorie-heavy but they also increase your appetite and lower your self-control. So even if you come to the party promising yourself not to overeat after having downed a few drinks you may not be able to resist your temptation towards food. Drink moderately and choose wisely. A light beer may not be that bad for you after all.
-Also choose your desserts keeping the calorific content in mind. Fruit cocktail or fondue makes for enjoyable as well as healthy eating.
-Take a walk with the entire family before or after a meal during holidays. In this way you will enjoy the company of your near and dear ones as well as the food you eat.
-There are usually one or two special vegetarian dishes in most parties. Just try them out for they are a very healthy option. They will provide you with the extra nutrients that you might have missed by just eating meat and carb-based foods.
-Apart from eating, holidays also mean a shopping spree for you. While you go out for shopping during this time of the year remember to park your car far away from the entrance of the mall. Also use the stairs instead of the elevator. You may get rid of a few pounds this way.
Holiday celebrations do offer a host of temptations but if you make these substitutions in your way of life during this time of the year then you will go a long way in having a healthier season.
