Decide which holiday events to attend. You don’t have to say “yes” to every invitation. If it is an open house, you could stay for a short time or arrive a little late. Plan to drink low-calorie beverage such as diet soda or club soda with a twist of lemon. (Most people are unaware of the large of number of calorie they consume in beverages-one 8- ounce serving of eggnog, for instance, has about 400 calories!) Bring along healthy appetizer or desert. If you don’t have any favorite recipes made with vegetables or fruit, which are tasty but lower in calorie.
