One effective way to control the process of weight loss, is to eat mindfully. What this means is to control mindless eating and snacking. Ask yourself questions about food such as “am I really hungry, or am I eating because I’m scared, anxious, or angry?” Bring to mind the benefits of healthy eating and how much exercise you’ll have to do to work off those calories? Is that ice cream or cosmopolitan worth it?Try these idea’s to help control the urges:
-
Keep exercising regularly
-
Eat slowly
-
If you feel full, stop eating
-
Call a friend if you feel like diving into the gallon of ice cream headfirst!
Most of all, remember, it’s all a process! Learn from your mistakes, and be forgiving to yourself!
