Looking Good for the Holidays
Wednesday, April 20th, 2011
Everyone likes to look great. We are only human and most of us are at least a little bit vane. But it is especially hard to look good when there is so much good food happening around the holiday season. It seems that from Thanksgiving up until New Years Eve most families homes are full of great smells and the tastes of some fabulous foods that simply make your mouth water and then your waist expand. So what is a person to do in a situation like this? There are countless parties to attend and you certainly don’t want to offend your hosts by not eating.
For those of you that may be taking a break from filing out your US immigration forms this can be a difficult thing. While you find your hands reaching for the tasty morsels as you work on getting your US Visas in a mindless manner. It seems like our fingers simply reach for the plates of cookies while we are thinking about the Green Card renewals and we do it without even thinking. It’s like or brains go on auto pilot for food.
One sure fire way to avoid this would be to simply stay in and be a hermit during November and December. Since this is hardly practical let’s consider an alternative that might work for you.
While saying you are on a diet to the hostess will work sometimes, a more effective way to cut down on the consumption factor is to say you may be allergic to some of the ingredients. Most people understand that one. We all know that filling in the US Immigration forms can make you extremely hungry. And sweets are abundant on holidays so working towards getting your US Visa or making sure that you get your Green Card Renewal done in a timely manner. So you might have to be extra cautious and creative to avoid the calorie overload.
Keep in mind that when it comes to eating and over eating. You are in control. So be mindful of not only what you are eating but the quantities of the things you are eating. Moderation can be your friend. In other words, a small piece of cheesecake is likely going to be okay, half of the thing is not likely to be good, no matter how great it tastes.
Will power may not be fun but it can go a long way towards making you look good over the festive season.
So when you are out party going this season and taking a break from filling in those Immigration Forms and getting your US Visa. Remember that the more you eat now the longer it’s going to take you to recover and the harder it is going to be to concentrate when you get back to the paperwork. That goes for your Green Card Renewal as well. The end result is in your mind and as long as you keep the food out of your hands, you’ll come out looking sweet.
