Little Black Dress – How To Get Fit For The Christmas Parties Page Three

Super foodie Hazel Wallace shares her top tips.

1. Dream big, but start small

Plans to slim for Christmas party season don't have to be grandiose, the key is to start small and build a habit first.

For example, instead of making a promise to lose ½ a stone, start by creating a habit to reach that goal – such as swapping your morning cup of tea and biscuits for a pot of low fat Greek yogurt.

2. Keep a food diary

Unless you consciously track everything you’ve eaten in a day, it’s easy to forget about the little extras that seem to sneak into our diet.

By writing down your food intake, we are forced to acknowledge what we are eating and it makes us think twice before grazing mindlessly on snacks throughout the day.

3. Take a “selfie”

Whether you share it or not, take a weekly picture in the same mirror, wearing the same clothing, and by comparing the pictures from week to week you will notice the gradual changes your body is making. If that’s not motivation enough, then I don’t know what is!
