No More Holiday Stress!

By now, most of the leaves have fallen and have covered the ground. The air bites your face a little harder as the temperature drops and the wind picks up. It's also that time again to actively start preparing for the holidays. With Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner, it's easy for us to stop and think about what we are truly thankful for. Our families, our friends, the memories made with them and our health. It's mostly a joyful time of the year but with all of the preparations, may come stress. Along with stress, may come overeating.

And it's no wonder. In trying to pull off the perfect holiday, we often commit to far more than we can manage. Then, when we're at our peak stress load, we find ourselves at holiday parties with a dizzying array of tempting treats. If we overindulge, it only adds to our stress.
