Number One – Protect your environment. I think that we all often make it ten times harder than it has to be by allowing far more tempting things into our home environments during the holidays that we would never have there normally. And I am not talking about the real specialty items that we wait all year for. I am talking about bowls of red and green Christmas Hershey Kisses, a bowl of nuts and a nutcracker, things like that. Nothing special. I’ll bet ten pounds of me is comprised of mediocre, stale, gifted Christmas cookies that I ate simply because I looked at them long enough.
