Week Six
Diet
Slipping back into ‘bad’ eating habits is easy. Your challenge this week is to make a list of those situations that trigger you to overindulge.
Indentifying problems
By keeping a food diary, you should be able to identify those situations that cause you to abandon your healthy eating plan.
The best way to beat these triggers is to be prepared. If you tend to overeat when you go to restaurants, for example, have a healthy snack before you go.
Here are a few more suggestions to help you:
Make small changes to your diet over time, so they become part of your life.
Use your imagination and a few good recipe books to make healthy eating enjoyable.
Don’t feel guilty about having only healthy food in the house. If others want a high-calorie treat, they can go out and get it.
Be firm with family and friends who try to tempt you with a second portion.
Don’t use one slip-up as an excuse to be bad for the rest of the day/week. If you’ve eaten too much high-fat food, balance this with fruit and some exercise.
If you’re moving in the direction of a healthy diet, you’re doing well.
Remember: what you do most of the time is more important than any lapses. (more…)
