Limit your alcohol consumption. Not only does alcohol contain many calories, but it can also stimulate your appetite and reduce your willpower. Try a wine spritzer, or better yet, avoid alcohol completely and drink seltzer or mineral water with a twist of lime, or a non-alcoholic tomato juice cocktail. Don't allow holiday activity to slow down your exercise program. Exercise can help burn off extra calories and make you feel good about yourself.
Moderation is key to weight maintenance.
A forkful of cheesecake will do a lot less damage than a whole piece.
