Christmas Goodies

[Sophia]

There are so many Christmas cookies and goodies laying around everywhere. How in the world am I supposed to keep my hands out of the cookie jar? Any tips?

Good question! if you get a good answer that doesn't involve a mouth guard and handcuffs, let me know!
All kidding aside, I just try to focus on providing healthy options along side the not-so-healthy options. When I do make "unhealthy" snacks, I try to use healthier ingredients, or cook fresh whenever possible. I even make healthy substitutions, for example using applesauce in place of oil in some baked goods, or using coconut sugar or sugar in the raw instead of white sugar. I also try to get more exercise during this season. It may or may not help...I like to think it does.

I've had no problem turning down sweets since I became sick. I know it might not stay down. Not a good way to avoid all the Christmas sweets. If I felt better and had more time I would make fudge and eat way too much. Which that is not what you want to hear.lol It helps if you keep them in a cabinet so you don't have to look at them all the time.

I'm not a huge sweet eater. I like certain cookies but not a lot of them. You could always take raw veggies and eat those when people are eating cookies.
