别再吃那些商店买来的饼干了，但是在你的“胃口预算”里为那些对你的家庭来说有特别意义的家庭大餐留一些卡路里额度，比如说你妻子特制的爱心蛋糕。训练自己什么可以放开吃，什么不该吃，这就好像为你的零花钱做一个预算：你是想买一件到处都可以买到的破烂货还是想买一样非常特别，独一无二的纪念品？不要指望在节日里完全管住嘴，——那样的话你的意志力会慢慢消退，最后反倒会吃得更多。

5. Make the change!

让改变发生！

The habit: Staying physically active during the holidays.

习惯：在假日期间一直保持身体活跃。

The result: Gaining less weight over the years.

结果：几年里体重上升缓慢

The proof: A study conducted by the U.S. government found adults gained, on average, more than a pound of body weight during the winter holidays - and that they were not at all likely to shed that weight the following year. (That may not sound like a lot now, but it means having to buy roomier pants after a few Christmases pass.) The good news is that the people who reported the most physical activity through the holiday season showed the least weight gain. Some even managed to lose weight.

证据：一项美国政府主持的研究发现，成年人在冬季假期里平均体重增长超过1磅——而且他们在第二年完全不可能把这部分体重减掉。（听起来好像1磅并不多，但这意味着再过几个圣诞节，你就得买宽松的裤子了。）好消息是在假期做运动最多的人体重增长的最少。有些人的体重甚至还得到了减轻。
