156 | How to Lose Weight in Midlife Without Blowing Up Your Holidays

Do the holidays make you feel like all your progress goes out the window? Like you're on everyone else's schedule, surrounded by food, and holding your breath until January? Let's talk about a better way. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, I'm sharing simple, realistic holiday strategies I coach my own midlife clients through - not to be perfect, but to stay peaceful, steady, and supported. If you want to lose weight without white-knuckling your way through December, this conversation is for you. We'll talk about why willpower isn't the answer in midlife, how pre-deciding your food choices reduces stress, and why thoughtful meal planning (even loose, flexible planning) helps calm your nervous system and protect fat burning. I'll also walk you through how to handle grazing, sugar cravings, food pushers, and that "I'll start over Monday" mindset — with grace and confidence. This isn't about restriction. It's about choosing steady over strict, lowering cortisol, and learning how to reset at any meal without shame. Press play, grab a notebook, and let's walk into this season grounded, prepared, and proud of how you show up.   Save your Seat for the Beat the Belly Fat Workshop - coming your way in January! --> https://www.getyourtrimon.com/workshop   FULL BLOG + SHOW NOTES Read the full post: 👉  https://www.getyourtrimon.com/blog/midlife-weight-loss-holiday-strategies   💌 BE AN INSIDER Stay in the know with my weekly newsletter: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/newsletter   💪 WORK WITH ME Book a FREE discovery call: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/work-with-kris Join Midlife Thrive Tribe (monthly membership): 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/group-coaching-open Enroll in the Midlife Fat Loss Formula (6-month coaching): 👉 https://bit.ly/joinfatlossformula   🎧 Listen in now — and if this resonates, come join the conversation inside my Menopause Makeover Facebook group, where we walk this journey together.   Affiliate Disclosure: Some links are affiliate links.
