When clients tell Ilana that they have a sugar addiction, she tells them to narrow it down. You may enjoy anything that looks sweet and tasty, but "you should prioritize your absolute must-haves." If you love pecan pie but can do without the sugar cookies and egg nog, then own that. You don't need to eat every single dessert to truly enjoy the holidays. Ilana said to plan for your favorite treats, and don't waste your time and calories on what isn't as worth it to you (like that fruit cake your neighbor gave you).
