ImageI hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. The holiday season is officially here! With it comes lots of shopping and lots of eating. Paying attention to portion sizes now is an important key to keeping your holiday calorie intake under control.

Choosing smaller servings or sharing ordinary servings, especially of high fat and high sugar foods, makes a major difference in your overall calorie intake. Choices make a difference. Consider these calorie comparisons:

Small fry = 225 calories vs. Large fry = 515 calories
Regular cheeseburger = 330  vs. Quarter Pound Cheeseburger = 515
12 oz. cola (child’s size) = 115 calories vs. 32 oz. (large) = 310 calories
Starbucks tall mocha (skim, no whip) = 170 calories vs. vente mocha = 450 calories

Consider the calorie savings of sharing foods:

¼ order of onion rings = 125 calories vs. whole order of onion rings = 475
½ piece of pumpkin pie = 170 calories vs. whole piece of pumpkin pie = 340
½ cup eggnog = 172 calories vs. 1 cup eggnog = 344

You don’t have to give up your favorite foods this holiday season, just consider downsizing or sharing with your friends or family. It may make the difference in helping you maintain or even lose weight this holiday season.

One of my personal favorite tips...Just do some extra shopping - - walk around the mall more or at a brisker pace! It is amazing how many extra calories you can burn :grin Might help with that extra glass of wine or slice of pumpkin pie! Yum!

What great advice. And it's so much better to eat with a friend that eat alone anyway.

There was once a lonelyHigh pressure blower girl who longed so much for love.Industrial fan One day while she was walking in the woodsIndustrial blower she found two starving songbirds.Commercial blower She took them home andwholesale put them in a small cage. She cared them with love and the birds grew china wholesalestrong. Every morning they greeted her wholesale shoeswith a wonderful song. The girlwholesale clothing felt great love for the birds. 
One day theghd girl left the door to the cage open. ghdThe larger and stronger of the Replica Watchestwo birds flew from the cage.breitling watches The girl was so frightened that he would fly away. As herolex watches flew close, she grasped him wildly. HerReplica Watches heart felt glad at her success in capturing him. Suddenly Replica watchesshe felt the bird go watcheslimp. She opened herReplica Watches hand and stared in horror at the dead bird. Her desperate love had killed him.  
She noticed theRolex Watches other bird moving back and forth on the edge of pressure blowerthe cage. She could feel his great need for freedom. He neededfans to soar into the clear, blue sky. She lifted him from the cage and tossed pressure blowershim softly into the air. The bird circled once, twice, three times. 
The girl watchedblowers delightedly at the bird's enjoyment. Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss. She wanted the bird to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest melody that she had ever heard. 
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight, the best way to keep love is to give it WINGS!
