Did you know that people gain the most weight during
the winter holidays—the period from mid-November
through the end of the year?
It's a time of great promise and GREAT expectations,
and it's also an extremely difficult time to stay on
track with goals, habits, and routines that help you
THRIVE.
How would it feel if you woke up on January 1st,
2011,
proud that you maintained your priorities without
being sucked into holiday overeating, emotional
eating, stress, overwhelm, and overload?
Join the Thriving the Holidays Series and Bring Your
A-Game to the Fall/Winter Holiday Season!
Do you love the holidays (I know I do) AND
wish they weren't so darn stressful, busy,
and likely to knock you off course?
You aren't alone.
Holiday stress
has a particular impact on women, who take charge of
many of the holiday celebrations, particularly the
tasks related to preparing meals and decorating the
home.
Women are more likely to report an increase of
stress during the holiday season.
Women have a harder time relaxing during the
holidays and are more likely to fall into bad
habits to manage their stress, like comfort
eating.
During the holidays people in the United States are
much more likely to say they behave in sedentary
ways like watching TV, sleeping, eating and drinking
to manage their stress.
Many people engage in emotional eating and
other unhealthy behaviors to cope with their
stress levels.
Research shows that many of us gain weight
during the winter holiday season. That’s probably
no surprise to you. What may surprise you is that
research also shows that we are less likely to
lose the weight we gain over the holidays. That
weight tends to stick around and
accumulate over the years.
Research also shows that if you’re already
overweight, the holiday season may present an
additional risk. Those who are overweight are
actually likely to gain MORE than the average person
during the holiday.
Do you gain weight over the holidays or do your
healthy habits fall by the wayside?
Does stress and busyness have a negative impact
on your eating? Do you overeat or make poor
choices because of stress or the increased
demands on your time?
Do holiday treats leave you feeling off track
and out of control with your goals and/or your
eating?
Do you start the holiday season with the best of
intentions only to feel tired, overwhelmed and
(guiltily) glad that the season is behind you?
For many of us, the holidays are an extremely busy
time of year. We get busy, we have lots of
commitments, we feel pulled in many directions.
Given all we have going on, it can be hard to even
think about the things we want to do to
take care of ourselves.
Too many of us start the season with the best of
intentions only to feel tired, overwhelmed,
off track and glad that the season is behind
us.
My question to you: Would you like this year to be
different?
What if you could savor the holidays AND stay
on track?
How would it feel to be in control of your eating,
your weight, your stress level and your time?
I think I’ve come up with a pretty good solution

tools and tips to help you:

”When I saw the
Me-treat I thought, this is perfect, this is
exactly what I want. I was heading
professionally into the worst possible time
of the year and I thought this is something
too good to pass up…I couldn’t miss a phone
call… I’m overwhelmed, I’m stressed. I’m a
business professional with a lot of
responsibility–but no me-time. This program
gave me the tools, the back bone, the
grounding to set a really good path. Just to
sit down and say, what do I want? What are
the things that are important? What kind of
big and juicy things have I put on the back
burner because of family, job,
environment?—the whole kit and caboodle. I
took a good look deep down at ME and said,
“What do I need, what do I want?”…I’m
leaving with a true blueprint and some of
the things that came up in these
conversations were so common sense and so
brutally simple. … Did I get what I wanted?
Definitely—and more.”
Nan Walsh, Ubly, Michigan Me-treat 2010
NOT the same-old-same-old!
“I feel incredible—rejazzed and ready to move on—it
was very validating to know what I was
feeling/experiencing was not unusual and I wasn’t
alone. I’m leaving with the tools to move forward
and be successful. Even if I get sidetracked again I
know how to come back to center.”

You CAN be your best version of yourself this
winter!
(and when you see what I've put together you won't
want to wait until January to get started!)
Join THRIVING the Holidays!
I’ve designed a program that provides an amazing
range of tools and resources. And you don’t
have to go anywhere. This program comes
to you.
Important: this is not a diet or food plan and
this is NOT a cookie-cutter-one-size-fits-all
approach to life and wellness. Those approaches
don't really provide what you need. This is also
NOT a program about denial and deprivation. The
holidays probably include experiences,
opportunities, and once-a-year treats and
celebratory foods that you want to ENJOY. This is a
Holiday program. It’s a gift of good
self-care to yourself—not a program of deprivation
and denial. The goal is to help you savor the
holidays that you celebrate. You’ll learn how to
decide what that means for you. I’ll help
you:
Take charge of stress, emotional eating,
procrastinating, and other unhelpful habits that
crop up when life hits high gears
Create a do-able plan to avoid stress eating and
mindless overeating
Take action to eliminate overwhelm, stress, and
chaos
Stay on track with activity, stress management
and exercise
Create a do-able plan for making sure important
self care and "me-time" happens
Now, I know what you are thinking. You’re busy.
Believe me, I’m busy too. I’m not about to put
together a program that is going to waste your time
with fluff or fill up your calendar with activities
you won’t be able to participate in.
My THRIVING The Holidays Series combines important tools and
structures to stay on track and in action
towards your goals this winter with the
information and motivation you need to get where you
want to go. I created this
program to be effective during a busy time of year, knowing
that you may have a lot going on. Need to miss a
call? No problem. I'll send you downloadable
recordings so you can listen in on your own
schedule. You can participate from anywhere and any
time zone in the world—as long as you have access to
a phone and the internet.
“This program has made a huge difference in my daily
life. I was able to look at my life differently and
realize I simply haven't paying enough attention to
taking care of me and getting out of life what I
really want. The program was wonderful because it is
a "how to" guide... not just useful information you
don't know how to implement. I won't say I'm perfect
at doing all the concepts yet -- but the difference
in my life thus far has been profound. I am so glad
I signed up... and every day gets better :)”
“You have made a huge difference for me. I’ve made
dramatic improvement in how I feel. I’m stepping
back and making time. I’m really seeing differences
in my level of stress. Your T.H.R.I.V.E. Formula™
has really changed how I do things.”
“I am HUGELY in a different mind state that I was
before this program…”
“Thank you for showing me that there is another way.
I wish I would have found you 10 years ago, :)”
“I can’t tell you how much I loved T.H.R.I.V.E.! I
can’t believe what I got done!”

tweak and refine upcoming topics.

"Immediately Melissa helped me organize a plan and
think of ways to start creating my dreams. She
helped me focus my energy on researching how others
have achieved the same goal; how to keep focus while
getting daily tasks done; and ways to tap into
myself to show my strengths to others!" C.B.
