Build Habits Gradually: Starting with easy switches, like choosing sparkling water over soda, can set the foundation for more substantial changes.
Navigating Festive Temptations: Simple strategies like not going to parties hungry and giving yourself time to decompress can help manage holiday stress and overindulgence.
Embrace Celebrations Responsibly: It's okay to indulge occasionally, like on Christmas, but it's important to return to healthier habits immediately afterward.
