What would the holiday season be like if you couldn’t have some homemade egg nog, a slice of red velvet cake or some of your grandma’s signature sweet potato pie? Anyone who decides to diet during this time of the year... we certainly don’t envy them!

Ask any trainer or nutritionist worth their value, they’re not going to tell you that you have to deny yourself sweets over the holidays. The key is knowing how to approach the dessert table so that you don’t overdo it. This way, comeJanuary 1, you’re not trying to figure out how to shed 10 pounds on top of all of your other resolutions simply because you indulged more than you planned.

If you’re halfway dreading the next few weeks because you think that you can’t enjoy all of the sugary goodness that it has to offer, take heart. If you follow these suggestions, you can literally have your cake and eat it too!

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
