20 Easy Ways to Gain 20lbs This Christmas!

I hope what will be a light hearted, but also useful post, today I wanted to demonstrate how easy it is to pile on the pounds over the festive period. Even if you eliminate a few of these tips, or include some of them, you’re sure to prevent some of the agony in the new year. Yes of course, it’s a time for celebrations, festive cheer and all that, but blimey, you just don’t need to:

• Say yes to everything offered to you
• Put out a 12 pack of mince pies for santa and then tell the kids that he ate them all
• Grab a handful of something everytime you pass through the living room on christmas morning
• Always be the one to offer around all the nibbles so you have your excuse to delve your mittens in first
• Secretly place a giant bar of chocolate under the tree, wrapped and named for youself, by yourself
• Stand cooking the christmas dinner, being a real chef and tasting everything, every 20 seconds
• Steal children’s treats telling them it’s bad for their teeth, and then eat them yourself
• Shout ‘let’s play eating games!’
• Fill your christmas dinner plate so everything is dripping off the edge
• Trying the toddlers portions every three seconds, saying ‘no, it’s still too hot when it’s cold’
• Pass around everything, six times just so you can get three more spuds
• Saying you didn’t like the first desert, even tho half of it has vanishsed
• Picking the crackers with the sweets in!
• Playing the ‘find all the christmas tree sweets’ and winning every time, even though there are kids around!
• Miss out on any exercise between now and new year
• Using the queen’s speech to slip out and ‘fill up again’
• Get a bike or exercise equipment as a gift and toss it to ones side
• Switch off a child using Wii Fit and put on Mario Kart!
• Get completely bladdered
• Repeat most of the above on boxing day from the left overs!
