"It's a holiday! You can let loose for one day, can't you?"

What you wish you could say: “Between Columbus Day, Valentine's Day, and Take Your Pet to Work Day, there will always be a holiday to justify a treat if that's what you're looking for."

Try this instead: Remember that food isn't the only way to celebrate. Show people that you can enjoy the holidays in other ways by telling them about the fun things you've done. "Can you believe I went skating today for the first time in ten years? You should have seen me gliding on the ice!"

Until Monday - Keep thinking veggies and protein!
