Dolly Parton Gets Ready For Her New Year Diet
It's cliché I know. Every year people make the same resolutions about getting to the gym and eating healthy. As a frequent gym goer myself, I tend to avoid the gym during the first two weeks of January. Typically after the second week half of those who made a commitment no longer follow through...terrible I know.
However, the popular singer seems to be willing to go all in for her New Year diet. I think she speaks for all of us when she described how her holidays typically go. She told Closer magazine, " We all start eating around Thanksgiving and we eat until the first of January, and that's when we all go on our diets."
That seems to be the general consensus. I know for my family, we live by the "calories don't count" mindset for the holiday season. It appears that Dolly Parton is of the same mindset. She stated, "You stretch your clothes out! But you're ready for a diet after the first of the year."
Dolly Parton Christmas Traditions
So, what are the traditions that make Ms. Dolly Parton so ready for a New Year diet? The singer is known by many names during the holidays. Her family calls her, "Granny Claus, Dolly Claus, or Gigi Claus depending on different generations."
In addition to sparing no expense with her calorie intake, she also spares no expense with her gift giving. Also, she makes sure to serve up a delicious feast. She shared, "We have turkey and ham, black eyed peas and cornbread dressing, and then we have lots of mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and that sort of thing."
Not to mention that she also serves us some delicious wine that she claims "goes with different things" very well. Top that off with Christmas songs sung around the piano and it sounds like a great time had by all. Like everything else in her life, Dolly Parton has complete confidence in herself sticking to her New Year diet. Hopefully she can share some tips as the year goes on!
