t's time to ring in the
Jewish New Year. Before
we know it, we will be
well on our way to a feast
of December holidays —
Chanukah and then the
American New Year. Many of
us look to the holiday season
with joy and hope. Perhaps
this is a time for family reu-
nions as well as recapping the
past year's highlights and set-
ting goals for the year to
come.
For just as many of us,
however, the holiday season
brings on loneliness and
depression. Any of these feel-
ings, whether happy or sad,
can lead us to overeating and
skipping our daily exercise
routine as the preparation
and feasts soon get under
way.
How can you prevent your-
self from falling into the holi-
day food trap? Get a hold of
yourself from the get go. Peo-
ple feel if they fast all day on
Yom Kippur they can eat all
they want when they break
the fast. Let's clear up a
misconception; you do not
lose weight fasting one day on
Yom Kippur.
Develop a strategy now to
at least maintain your shape
throughout the fall season.
As Jews, we seem to get hit
with a double whammy of
holidays within a three-
month period. But this should
not be an excuse for over-
indulging ourselves.
What is a reasonable plan
of action?
your
• Learn . from
mistakes.
If you went to five different
relatives' dinner gatherings
last year and gorged yourself,
think about how you felt
afterwards. Allow yourself a
plate full of the Rosh
Hashanah meal, but not se-
cond and third helpings. This
applies to "break the fast" as
well.
• Think about how hard
you have worked to keep your
body fit.
Keeping your body in shape
is important to good health
for a lifetime.
• Bake healthy holiday
goodies.

the sugar by half. Use ap-
plesauce for the fat you omit-
ted. In addition, use a banana
in place of each egg called for
in a recipe.
• Use imagery.
Imagine yourself at a din-
ner gathering choosing
healthy foods and engaging in
stimulating conversation. It
will make you feel good about
yourself.
• Eat lightly before going to
Rosh Hashanah dinner.
If you save up all of your
calories for the big meal,
you'll be so famished that you
may eat everything in sight.
• Relax.
Make time daily to listen to
special tapes or soft music.
Even going in a quiet room by
yourself to sort out your
thoughts for a period of time
can be very helpful.
• Keep up with your exer-
cise routine.
Especially this time of year
it is so important to take that
half hour to walk — take ad-
vice from my husband David,
"Walk to shul."
• Set goals.
Putting things down on
paper commits you to a new
plan of action for 5754.
Most important, give
yourself positive feedback.
Focus on your best qualities
and utilize them when deal-
ing with others!
