These temptations make it much harder to stick to your regular eating habits.

To avoid that slow weight gain during the holidays and still enjoy the party atmosphere, here are a few things I suggest you can do.

1. Do not skip meals.

She and her fiance Keith met at Hong Kong’s justice of the peace, she in a smart pink suit, he in his English grey. After the ceremony was over, we all went to an enclosed room at a chic restaurant and enjoyed a gourmet meal.

I have been estranged from my husband since my daughter was young but we will invite my ex-husband to the wedding. He has brothers who have also separated from their wives, and they have second families now. We intend to invite the brothers but not their second wives and their children. One brother has his first wife and children in the city with whom we are in touch and whom we’d like to invite.
