?A practical way to partake in Christmas goodies, for example, is to 6 K  @; o3 m# p0 c6 o7 S
substitute some holiday cookies for say the bagel that you usually have with   t, H5 X2 U3 b' v7 J( _" K: w
breakfast or for a mid-morning snack. And instead of just taking one cookie,

a cookie and a half by your desk and that way it will seem as if you are # ~, ~& X) x3 E* K4 L" p& z
