2. **Eat Mindfully:**
– Pay attention to your body’s hunger and fullness cues.
– Chew your food slowly, savoring each bite, and take breaks between bites.
3. **Hydration:**
– Drink water before and during meals. Sometimes, your body can interpret thirst as hunger.
– Opt for water or other low-calorie beverages to stay hydrated.
4. **Balanced Meals:**
– Include a balance of proteins, vegetables, and whole grains in your meals.
– This combination helps you feel satisfied and reduces the likelihood of overindulging in high-calorie foods.
5. **Plan Ahead:**
– If you know you’ll be attending a festive event, plan your meals for the day accordingly.
– Don’t skip meals, as this can lead to excessive hunger and overeating later on.

7. **Avoid Grazing:**
– Try to avoid continuous snacking throughout the day.
– Set specific times for meals and snacks to maintain a structured eating routine.
8. **Stay Active:**
– Incorporate physical activity into your festive routine.
– Take a walk, engage in holiday-themed activities, or encourage family games to burn off extra calories.
9. **Socialize Away from the Buffet:**
– Engage in conversations and socialize away from the food table.
– This reduces the temptation to mindlessly graze while chatting.
10. **Mindful Indulgence:**
– Allow yourself to enjoy festive treats, but do so mindfully.
– Consider choosing smaller portions or sharing desserts with others.
11. **Accountability:**
