Need to keep the pounds off? Here are tips to avoid holiday weight gain:

Pay attention to what you eat. Get in the habit of writing down everything you consume. This time of year, it's easy to give yourself a little treat in the break room, another one at home, and yet another at a party. Once you start keeping a list, you'll be less likely to overindulge.

Watch your stress levels because a lot of people cope with stress by eating. That's because comfort foods really do comfort -- by lowering your stress level. You shouldn't need food to manage your mood. Allow time to exercise, and say 'No' to invitations if you're feeling overbooked.

Hang with friends. People who socialize at parties consume fewer calories than wallflowers. The more connected you are, the lower your risk for emotional eating.

Look for opportunities to move. If you can't get to the gym, take a brisk walk, even if it's around the mall.
