Hello my Cambridge friends. We are winding down another year. 2018 seemed to fly by to me. 2019 is only 9 days away. It's a time of new beginnings, promises, and resolutions. For those of you who plan to indulge over Christmas and then commit to getting back to, (or beginning) your Cambridge weight loss plan, have a lovely time and we'll see you when you're ready to get going. If you plan to eat mindfully and practice your maintenance skills, don't forget that Cambridge can help with that. Sub non-celebratory meals with Cambridge, and only eat when it is the main event. If you plan to stick to your Cambridge, know that you are perfectly capable of accomplishing that. We give too much importance to the food part of holidays and undervalue the people and love that means so much more.

Whatever your plan is...just be sure that you have one. Don't depend on "in the moment" decisions because they most likely will not be the best ones. Plan and be prepared so you don't risk feeling out of control. Feeling in control of our choices and behaviors is a very important part of recovery. Make that your Christmas gift to yourself!

Happy Holidays!
