The holiday season is usually the time to wine, dine and make merry. It is also the time when all diets go out of the window. This however, doesn't have to be the case. With some planning, you can party as much as you like and not add any inches to your waistline.

Before leaving home
So you have been invited to loads of celebrations this year, how can you possibly keep your weight down? Actually, there are lots of ways you can help your weight, even before you get there.

One simple solution involves having a quick bite before you go. A piece of fruit, even a glass of water will do to make sure you are not too hungry when you get to the venue. And it does wonders for the temptation to stray toward the desserts trolley at the party.

At the party
Now that you have lined your stomach, all you have to do is to take care of your calories, maintaining them at a sensible level. Do keep away from the high calorie sips.
Alcohol, for instance, has a high calorie content that will easily build up to shatter your calorie allowance. It's a good idea to talk about anything but food, and try avoiding holding a plate! it helps to do something else with your hands, so they are occupied.

If you can't resist the food table, head for the vegetable and fruit trays first. Fill up most of your plate with these so that you are forced to take tiny portions of the high fat items. That way you won't miss out on any food and yet keep your calorie intake low.

When you're being served dinner, you can avoid eating too much by eating a small bit of everything and leaving half of the meal on the plate.  While some are afraid that they should eat to compliment the host, you could always say that you are just too full to eat any more, but what you had was delicious.  Or you could excuse any questions with an explanation of wanting to watch your weight.  Everyone can understand that.

At home
It is different when you are preparing for the holiday season, making the food at home. Because you can choose what's best for your diet. So, you can always create a menu with low fat, low calorie dishes. After all, you are in charge!

When you're cooking, you'll want to avoid tasting everything by having another family member take over that position. They'll love being the official tester and you won't have to worry about adding calories to your day.

You might also want to freeze any cookies or other tempting items until you will be eating them for a meal or a gathering.  It's a lot harder to eat something that's frozen.

At the end of it all, these dos and don'ts may even take a couple of inches off your waistline at the New Year. But if they don't, and you still weigh the same, you accomplished what you set out to do! now that calls for a party!
