Have you ever whispered to yourself that you shouldn’t be eating something? But you eat it anyway?
That’s probably the reason why you can’t lose weight. A few extra bites of food throughout the day can sabotage your weight loss efforts. FACT: It’s a lot easier to gain weight than lose it – and more fun, also.
REALITY: It not impossible to lose weight. It may not be as easy as you would like. Try these tips to get back on track.
- WATCH YOUR PORTION SIZES. Portion sizes are outrageous these days. Go back to the 50s. Obesity rates were much smaller, and the portions were reasonable.
- Eat on a salad plate. If you have extra weight, you may not be eating much, but it is more than you need.
- Only eat if you are hungry. Don’t eat because someone from work brought in pastries. Don’t eat just because you walk by a co-workers desk, and they have a candy dish. If you eat because you are stressed, depressed, or bored, check out Day 4 of The Food Is My Friend Diet. Food doesn’t solve problems.
Next time you want to eat too much of something that you know you shouldn’t, tell yourself: “I don’t need food to feel good. I love me.”
