It's ok to
eat chips. It's ok to eat chocolate bars. It's OK to enjoy life and treat
yourself with "fun" foods. Just BE SMART about it. Eat it in
moderation. And make sure when you're eating your meals for the day you're
eating balanced, nutritious, well-portioned meals. Then, enjoy fun foods every
now and again.
It's not
what you do, but how you do it. Learn to eat a few handful of chips instead of
the whole bag. Eat half a chocolate bar and save the other half for another
day. Your body can handle these kinds of foods if most of the time you take
good care of it.
Life is
for enjoying. So please enjoy! And stop stressing over things like this.
Have a
tough time stopping at couple handful of chips? Can't help but finish a huge
chocolate bar once you get started? No problem. Just carry a mini travel-size
mouthwash (or toothpaste) in your bag. Or just have it handy in the car.
When you
have the urge to eat "fun" foods but trying not to, or when you can't
help but want to eat more than a few, just rinse your mouth or brush your
teeth. This can help dull your taste buds, and chances are, you'll lose your
appetite for that moment since the food won't taste so great.
nice
ReplyDeleteSo true sis! I love food and the only way I can better control over-indulgence is to treat food as something to nourish our bodies. I was 10 pounds overweight before and so my sister introduced me to the 3 Day Military diet. I love how the diet opened my eyes to calorie counting and portion control - that mean I can eat food but in a restricted manner. As long as it is within my caloried 'budget' for the day, then it's fine! I lost a lot of pounds and was able to wean away from sugar at the same time. I love the diet so here's a great link http://3daysmilitarydiet.com/diet-plan/3-day-military-diet-shopping-list.html
