One treat at a time
It is ok to have a cheeseburger once in a while but don’t use the
justification that since you are already splurging that it ok to order
the French Fries along with it. Allow yourself an occasional treat, as
long as it is accompanied by smarter food choices like fresh fruit and
vegetables.
If you can’t just have one - avoid them
There are some treats that you can’t just have one so it is best to
just avoid those treats altogether. You may discover that a chocolate
chip cookie triggers uncontrollable cravings but one square of dark
chocolate appeases your sweet tooth quite nicely.
Don’t lose weight for some one else
 Reset your weight lost goals so they revolve soley around you. Sit
down and figure out the benefits to you of changing your lifestyle.
Writing down your goals can really help.
Avoid winter weight gain
Keep a bikini or a skimpy sun dress on the back door of your bathroom
so you can visualize yourself wearing it every time you head for the
leftovers.
Genetics are not on your side but…
there are still things you can do. First of all set realistic
expectations. First of all, you may never be a size two but that doesn’t
mean you can’t be a healthy size 10. Small things like walking to the
grocery store, choosing the stairs over the escalator can really make a
diiference. Research shows that people who are physically fit and maybe
carry a few extra pounds as opposed to people who are their ideal size
and not physically fit.
After that workout I can eat anything
Most people over estimate the amount of calories burned. After a
great workout reward yourself with a bath or a massage not food.
Avoid buffets
Most people love buffets because of the variety but they also tend to
overindulge. To be safe just avoid them.
Remember to make lifestyle changes, don’t diet
Quite simply diets don’t work long-term so you are better off to make
simple lifestyle changes and keep them up over time.
Avoid the hefty salad
A salad heaped with tons of toppings can be just as many calories as
a burger. Be realistic about what goes on your salad. Adding a ton of
croutons and you might as well be eating a sandwich.
Sweet and Carbs boost your serotonin
But thankfully so does exercise,sex and low-fat carbohydrates so
choose wisely.
Just because you brought it at the health food section doesn’t mean
it is healthy
Organic potato chips have just as many fat grams as regular potato
chips so be warned.
Pace yourself with the slowest eater at the table
Studies have shown that eating slower can be more enjoyable and led
to less calorie consumption.
Let’s meet for a walk instead of let meet for drinks
Either way you are getting the same social interaction but also doing
something good for yourself. Studies have shown that having an exercise
buddy can lead to longer exercise.
