Everyone has a certain food weakness which leaves them powerless to the food. Or does it? For me, chocolate is my weakness and if I eat dark chocolate in moderation, it’s not so bad. The key is to have it in moderation.
So are we really powerless? Well, I believe that life is made up of choices. We have all the power to make choices. We also have the intention to make the best choices for ourselves and our health. Having said that, certain foods seem to cast a spell over our well-meaning efforts. As I said earlier, for me that’s chocolate.
What do you do in this situation? It’s simple actually.
Break the addiction by following these tips:
1) First off, go grocery shopping with a list and DO NOT veer off that list! Keep your weakness(es) off the shopping list. Out of site, out of mind.
2) Allow yourself that food occasionally. I won’t say how often, you decide for you what’s the most sensible solution. Perhaps once a month, perhaps once a week. The best way to accomplish this is not to keep this food in your house. Buy it only for that one time you’ve allowed yourself the indulgence.
3) Don’t eat alone. Eating can become a mindless activity, done on auto-pilot. So if you eat alone, you may end up overeating.
4) Eat slowly. Your stomach needs time to communicate with your brain to know you are satisfied. This takes time so eating slowly will mean you eat only until you are satisfied and have not overeaten.
5) Eat quality, slow cooked meals. In other words, no fast food!
The bottom line is to understand that YOU have the control, not food! YOU make the choices and have the power to choose wisely for your health or choose for your temporary satisfaction. It’s up to YOU!
