5. Indulge in only the most special holiday treats
Skip the candy corn at Halloween, the frozen pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, and the store-bought cookies at Christmas, but do save some calories in your "budget" to sample treats that are homemade and special to your family, such as your wife's special Yule log cake. Training yourself what to indulge in and what to skip is much like budgeting your mad money: Do you want to blow it on garbage that you can buy anywhere or on a very special, one-of-a-kind souvenir? Just don't completely deprive yourself on festive days—your willpower will eventually snap, and you'll end up overeating.
