“I think the best habit is not depriving myself.”
And honestly… that’s one of the healthiest mindsets you can have during the holidays.
When we try to be too strict, it usually backfires. The more we tell ourselves we “can’t” have something, the more likely we are to overeat later — and then feel guilty about it.
But the holidays aren’t about restriction. They’re about enjoyment, connection, and finding balance.
Instead of depriving yourself, try this:
✨ Make a plate with intention — start with protein, add veggies, and leave room for your favorite holiday sides.
✨ Slow down — enjoy the flavors, the company, the moment.
✨ Stop when you’re satisfied, not stuffed.
✨ Remember: one meal won’t ruin your progress. How you bounce back does.
The goal isn’t perfection — it’s a healthy mindset.
And giving yourself permission to enjoy the season without losing control is one of the strongest habits you can build.
At CMWLS, we help you find that balance so you can enjoy your holidays — and stay on track in a way that feels good and sustainable. 🎄✨
