How do we avoid those extra ‘end-of-year pounds’?
updated the 13 June 2014 à 23:22Nothing is inevitable. Here’s how to avoid piling on the pounds before the start of the New Year.
Each year, with the end-of-year holidays, we find ourselves carried away by the wave of festivities. That, paired with the imperceptible change in our everyday habits – each day, eating a little more fat, and moving just a little less – creates that vicious cycle of stress-food-pounds-more stress. So each December, we end up practically penning those two, three, four extra kilos that suddenly materialise onto our hips, butts, thighs, into our yearly planners. But nothing is inevitable. So why allow the scales to leap, and our morale to plunge? And more importantly, why wait till the start of the New Year to fulfil our weight loss resolutions? These three reflexes can save your holidays, and ensure you start the New Year without – literally – the extra burden.
