The holidays are often considered the season of excess, with countless parties, loads of sweets, and many overflowing cheese boards🧀 But how do you enjoy all those goodies with diabetes? Jahna shares how she makes decisions she’ll feel good about later.
“The way you serve your clients,” she said. “You need to serve yourself the same way.”
“I want you to know that when you show up for weight management class, I’m right here with you — and here’s why,” I said, then shared my diagnosis. But this wasn’t a one-off battle. I would need to continue to focus on getting in shape and managing my diet every day. I was up for the challenge, but admittedly was thrown a bit of a curveball when my siblings and I took my mother on a 80th birthday cruise together.
I decided to make it a game. My mom and I would pick our meals ahead of sitting down at the buffets, so we wouldn’t fall victim to any last-minute temptations. We would take the stairs to go up to the dining area and then take the elevator down as a reward. We exercised a couple of times in the gym, and if we were seduced by that hunk of cheesecake, we’d scheme a solution.
When it came time to eat, I compromised with myself, just as I had on the cruise ship. So much of enjoying food is about pacing yourself and not feeling denied.
