Holiday Hangover! Our Solutions for Overindulgence

The tree lights are off and the presents are unwrapped, but some of us may still be feeling the aftereffects of the holidays.

If you indulged in a little too much eggnog this weekend, it’s okay! Here’s how to get over the post-holiday slump.

Stop With The Guilt

First things first: it’s time to stop feeling guilty about eating too much or having an extra drink. You’ve been there and done that! One day of overindulgence is not going to be your downfall!

Wait To Shop

Not only do people put themselves in debt buying holiday gifts, but many rush out prematurely to indulge in all of the Boxing Day sales. Wait a couple days and let the crowds die down.

Most sales continue about a week or so after Boxing Day. You don’t want to get too excited and buy things you don’t need just because you found a great deal!

Sit Back and Reflect

Santa takes a break and you should too!

Many of us get so amped up over the holidays that once they’re over, we fall into a slump. We feel as though there’s nothing to look forward to!

Instead, reflect on the wonderful memories you made this year and look forward to what’s to come in the New Year!

When All Else Fails … Shapewear!
