1. FILL UP ON MORE SENSIBLE FOODS
Foods that are high in fiber or water fill you up quickly and help keep you from overindulging on empty calories that will make you eat more in the long run. For example eat an extra scoop of vegetables and fruit when filling your plate, and by the time you finish, you won’t have the space in your tummy for the other foods which are higher in calories and more likely to cause you to gain weight.
2. Control Your Portion Size
No doubt, everything at the table looks incredibly delicious, and it’s can become very easy over fill your plate 2-3 times so that you can sample everything. An easy way to combat this urge is to simply reduce the portion size you normally would take of your favorite dishes you’re most interested in, especially belt-bursting desserts. Split a piece of Chocolate mouse or cheesecake with your significant other, friend, or any other relative who may be watching his or her waistline.

3. DRINK AROUND, DURING, AND BETWEEN MEALS
Drink a fair amount of water or other unsweetened beverage before each meal, as well as during and between them. The liquid in your stomach will help trick your mind into not feeling as hungry, which reduces the tendency to over eat fattening foods.
4. POSITION YOURSELF AWAY FROM THE SNACKS
Think about this for a second. If you take a seat within an arm’s reach of the snack table, you’re going to have a tough time keeping yourself from socially grabbing handfuls of party mix, candies, and the like and grabbing at them all day. By placing yourself into a activity such as a card game or charades, getting to the snacks involves a conscious effort into getting up and walking over to get at the snacks.
5. It’s Okay To Take An Exercise Break
If the weather allows for it, go out and take a quick walk around the house or block. If your Holiday celebrations is taking place in a colder climate, you’ll be more inspired to walk faster and burn a few extra calories in the process. If the weather will not allow for this activity, do 10-20 squats, stretches, simply turn on the tunes and get everyone dancing to some fast paced music, it will be fun!. You only want to do enough to raise your heart rate, but not break out into a sweat. Chances are, no one will know what you are up to, and later you will not have to feel self-conscious about trying to maintain yourweight loss.

However, if you just happened to place on a few extra pounds, don’t stress over it. If you’ve been following a healthy diet and exercise plan, most likely any weight you did gain is water and it will come off when you resume your healthy diet and exercise after the holiday party.
