Does the thought of meal planning bring up feelings of dread?

You’re not alone.

I used to dread doing this, too.

But, in a past life, when I ran a home daycare, I had to learn this skill.

5 Ways to Thrive Through the Holiday Food Frenzy

So, temptation has arrived.

Goodies of all sorts are available and waiting for you.

And you want to dive in.

But you don’t want to.

And you want to indulge and let loose.

But you don’t really want to.

Part of you loves this time of year, and wants to try all the things.

But another part of you wants this year to be different.

She doesn’t want to gain the five pounds, or feel crappy and bloated, or have the whole holiday revolve around food.
