How to Get Fit With Christian Weight Loss During the Holidays

The holiday season is a time for family, celebrating our Savior, cozy moments by the fireplace, and enjoying fun traditions. But it can also feel like a time when weight loss goals go on the back burner. Between Thanksgiving feasts, Christmas cookies, and endless gatherings, how do you stay on track?

Believe it or not, the holidays are actually the perfect time to prove to yourself that you can stick with your goals, even in the busiest and most food-filled season. Here’s how you can embrace a healthier holiday season without sacrificing the joy and celebration of this special time.

1. Remember That You Have Choices

The holidays are filled with treats, but let’s break it down:

• Thanksgiving is one day.
• You may have 3-4 parties to attend.
• Even if there are 10 situations where you could get off track, that still leaves dozens of opportunities to make healthy choices in between.

This isn’t about “all or nothing” thinking. Enjoy the moments that matter and get back to your healthy routines the next day. For example, if you indulge on Thanksgiving, don’t let it turn into four days of leftovers. Have your fun, then return to your non-negotiables like drinking water, eating whole foods, and staying active.

2. Set a New Fitness Goal

Why wait for January to start fresh? Set a fun and exciting fitness goal now to keep you motivated through the season:

• Train for a January 5K.
• Start a push-up or pull-up challenge.
• Commit to morning walks or workouts to stay energized.

When you’re working toward a goal, you’ll feel excited to move your body—even during the holidays!

3. Choose What’s Worth It

Not all holiday foods are created equal. Spend some time thinking about what you really love and what you can skip.

For example:

• Love green bean casserole? Enjoy it!
• Not a fan of sweet potatoes or pies? Skip them!

You don’t have to eat everything just because it’s there. Prioritize the foods that bring you joy and leave the rest.

4. Stop People-Pleasing

If Aunt Glenice insists you try her mashed potatoes, remember this: nobody else is fighting for your health. It’s okay to say no or set boundaries.

Here’s what you can do:

• Kindly explain your goals to loved ones, or simply say, “No, thank you.”
• Focus on your accountability to God, not the opinions of others.

Your body is a temple, and you’re honoring Him by taking care of it.
