Morning.
This isn't going to be a guide telling you only to go for the diet friendly options at the Christmas dinner table, how to save up calories for later on in the day by sacking off breakfast, or about the benefits of finding a gym that's open 24/7/365 so you can squeeze in one last workout before you hammer the turkey with all the trimmings...
Now, it's fair enough if you still want to eat a certain way or still train, because that's totally 100% your choice.
Don't forget that we're incredibly lucky to be able to CHOOSE whether or not we want to diet. Some people don't have that privilege in the world and are forced to go hungry.
However, if it causes you anxiety or stress to deviate from your usual routine, I strongly urge you to try and relax, put things into perspective and enjoy this time of year the way with which you want.
Firstly, recognise that if you're reading this, it's likely not your job to be looking and performing at your very best all the time.
So if you don't fall into the camp of a fitness model, bodybuilder or professional athlete, then please read on.
Let's pretend that you're going to be a bit "loose" with your dietary habits over Xmas. Let's then say that across the whole year, to account for birthdays, holidays etc. that your diet is, again, pretty loose for a total of 6 weeks.
That leaves a HUGE 46 weeks of the year to get things right the rest of the time.
What's the take home here?
Your efforts are best spent focussing on that rather large ~46 week sized opportunity rather than stressing about what is actually a very small piece of the larger long term picture.
Much love,
JB
