Urge To Splurge

Woman_reading_blue_book_2Barbecues and family picnics can be difficult if you're watching your weight, but don’t let them break the bank on your diet.

Plan ahead and have a snack or a work-out before you go, to help you resist high calorie temptations.

If you do overindulge, don’t beat yourself up.  The next day, jump back in the game.  Eat less, work out more – or both!

When nighttime hunger strikes - distract yourself until the temptation subsides by exercising, reading or taking a bath.

  • Get plenty of sleep – it’s easier to overeat when you’re tired. Caffeine, sugar and simple carbs are the worst choices for a pick-me-up.
  • Avoid boredom or stress, which lead to mindless eating.
  • Be sure to pitch the junk food and have healthy snacks in the house at all times. If a random craving hits, the only choice you can make will be a good one.
  • Reward your successes when you achieve a short-term goal such as losing five pounds, losing 5 inches, or running a race. Small rewards are motivating but shouldn’t be food-related. Perfect examples include new running shoes or a facial.
