PAGE 4A ~ THE MAYO FREE PRESS, Mayo, FL THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2009 Millers Celebrate 50th TOPS Ten Tips for a Smith - Lindsey Wedding Anniversary Healthy, Happy Holiday wedding announcement The holiday season doesn’t have to create havoc on your weight-loss goals, says TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight- loss support organization. Follow these ten strate- gies to navigate the eating season for a great time without a great gain. 1. Don’t go hungry. Arriving at a party on an empty stomach is a recipe for disaster that can lead you to overeat and make poor choices. Have a light snack of a low-fat, high-fiber food a half-hour before you go, such as yogurt, an apple with a tea- spoon of peanut butter, a piece of string cheese, or vegetables with low-calorie dip. This will help curb your appetite and make it easier to control your intake. 2. Treat yourself. There’s no need to ban your favorites; decide what you want to try and then set a limit. Cakes, cookies, and pies are available year- round, so indulge in small portions of only the best seasonal, holiday foods. Just a taste of something special can be enough to quell a craving without Arika Margaret Smith and John Aaron Lindsey going overboard. 3. Take control. Offer to bring a low-calorie dish Wayman and JoAnn Aaron is also a 2003 or platter to holiday gatherings.
