We’ve all been there – you don’t want to hurt your mom’s feelings when you visit her during the holidays, but, you also don’t want to tack on extra pounds. Sure, the mountains of cookies, homemade fudge and snack mix look delicious, but if you’re committed to losing weight or keeping it down, even the most persuasive “food pushers” will understand. It just takes a little communication.
MyFitnessPal.com offers four ways to not give into the pressure, while still being a gracious guest.
We particularly like Number 4: Respond with values, not outcomes. This is about communicating that you’ve made your overall health a priority and you want people to respect that. Remember to be strong. We’re rooting for you.
