?'Eating on a Budget' is not about the cost of what is eaten, but about the

?A practical way to partake in Christmas goodies, for example, is to

breakfast or for a mid-morning snack. And instead of just taking one cookie, ' j0 h' h+ L( T/ i8 B( P
from the platter, which is noticeable and likely will encourage a colleague to

be watching how you really eat. You can always have a few candies, one cookie or

heartily enjoying the holiday treats.?
# T+ F9 x' `7 C; y; B?Another strategy is to bring - bake or buy - low calorie Christmas cookies
