Does the holiday season usually feel exciting at first and then slowly become overwhelming? Do the weeks fly by, leaving you tired, stretched thin, and wondering where your routines went?
Does this sound familiar?
You start the season with good intentions.
You tell yourself you’ll be mindful, you’ll pace yourself, and you’ll enjoy the holidays without letting everything slide.
Then work ramps up, family needs increase, and the to-do list gets longer. Somewhere along the way, meals become rushed, sleep gets pushed aside, and food starts to feel like the easiest way to cope. If this resonates, you’re not alone.
December is a month that asks a lot of women, especially women who are used to carrying responsibility. It’s not unusual to hear women talk openly about feeling heavier in January, not just physically, but emotionally too. They often start the new year feeling tired, disappointed and guilt about starting over again.
Have you ever noticed how quickly that pattern shows up? You’re busy, so you skip a proper meal. You’re exhausted, so you snack to get through the evening. You’re stressed, so you eat without really thinking about it. None of it feels dramatic in the moment, but over the course of the month, it adds up.
And then there’s the pressure. The pressure to do it all. The pressure to keep everyone happy. The pressure to hold everything together while quietly putting yourself last. If that sounds familiar, it might be worth asking yourself this question.
Who do you usually become during the holidays?
Do you see yourself as the one who pushes through no matter what? The one who handles things later? The one who tells herself she’ll focus on her health in January?
If so, it makes sense that December feels hard. When your energy is low and your stress is high, your body looks for comfort. When rest disappears, cravings tend to rise. When you’re constantly giving to everyone else, it becomes harder to listen to what you need.
What if this year could be different?
What if December could be a month where you still show up for the people you care about, but you also protect your energy, your peace, and your well-being?
That’s the question that led me to create The Ultimate December Weight Maintenance Playbook. This free resource was designed for women who want the holidays to feel different, not perfect, just more intentional. It speaks directly to the challenges that tend to show up this time of year, like stress eating, disrupted sleep, low energy, and the fear of starting January feeling heavier and discouraged.
The Playbook doesn’t ask you to restrict, push harder, or rely on willpower. Instead, it supports you in moving through the season with awareness and confidence, so you can maintain your habits, avoid the typical holiday weight gain, and actually enjoy the moments that matter.
If you’re reading this and thinking, yes, this sounds like me, then this resource was created with you in mind. December doesn’t have to be something you survive. It can be a season you move through feeling calm, grounded, and proud of how you took care of yourself.
