Talk to your best friend. Have a conversation with that super-fit coworker you admire. If you know someone who’s a rock emotionally, always on an even keel, get them involved in your holiday plans.
You can also do the opposite.
If you see someone suffering from holiday depression or anxiety, give them a mental boost. Maybe a friend has been faltering on her diet thanks to holiday temptations. Helping someone else stay on track mentally and physically during the holidays can help you stick to your goals as well.

You become frustrated that you took a step backwards nutritionally, and you feel even worse. This exercise-free, poor-diet approach to the holidays begins to feed on itself (pun intended).
Partner up for a smart approach to a sane and fit holiday celebration.
