Here are some tips on how to maintain your weight during the holidays. 

First, don't stress. Most people only gain about 2 pounds during the holidays according to a recent study.

Next, use smaller plates. Even if you fill it up, it could only be about a quarter of a bigger plate of food.

Send leftovers home with others. Remove the temptaions.

Finally, don't wait until the new year to decide to get fit. Start immediately after the holidays.
