Summary

The Xmas period is one filled with great food and time spent together, but while this is supposed to be a time of year for celebration this prospect can fill many with anxiety.

What if I gain weight?
What if this sets me back?
How can I avoid fat gain?

In this show, Co-Host Tom takes us through a conversation he's having with his clients at the moment, detailing the mindset and approach you can adopt over the Xmas period to ensure that come January you have no regrets. He discusses:

- What it really means to maintain your weight
- The questions you can ask yourself to make sure you get the most out of every choice you make
- The maths of fat gain, and how to set realistic expectations for the next few weeks

It's a quick show, but one packed with practical ideas to implement in your life, we hope you enjoy it!

0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to Ben Coomba Radio. I hope you're all doing really well. You're
0:07.6	here with me Tom. Usually you'll be here with Ben and Tom but of course Ben is off on
0:12.0	paternity leave so here I am looking after you guys, making sure that we still get a show
0:16.2	out every Thursday and so that you've got something to listen to on your walk or wherever
0:20.2	you listen to these. Now the first thing that I thought I would talk about, seen as I've
0:25.7	been given the reins for a few weeks, is something that I've been talking to my clients about
0:30.6	in recent weeks. Now you may or may not have noticed but it's Christmas round the corner
0:35.2	and with Christmas comes of course a societal shift towards eating drinking and being
0:42.4	merry and I think that's awesome but there are some people who get a little bit concerned

1:12.0	concern or any anxiety that might occur around an event by just getting ahead of it and there's
1:19.0	the phrase of the scariest thing the scariest time is always immediately before you do something
1:25.3	like any scary event is way scarier before you start and I think that's because it's unknown
1:31.7	right like you don't know what the outcome's going to be and so you start worrying about these
1:35.8	scenarios that might not ever even occur and so if we can set some expectations that will
1:40.6	alleviate a little bit of anxiety because of that. Now the first thing that I do want to say
1:44.8	related to like anxiety around Christmas wake in is that it's completely unfounded.
1:51.4	At the end of the day, your body is not supposed to have the exact same amount of body fat on it
