Well, Three weeks on the program and I am almost to my goal! Though I eat six times a day and drink lots of water, I still drool at the site of yummy food! Not that I'm hungry or that the food on the program isn't yummy, because a lot of it is, but when my family sits down to a nice home cooked Mexican meal (just one of the many examples of what I've faced the past three weeks) I can't help but want to sit down with them and dig in.
So do you want to know how it is I am able to pass up such tempting situations? Well, I think about the two things I want, the yummy food and to reach my goal weight. Then I weigh in my mind what I want more and that's what I choose. It's not always easy to make that choice. If you had the option to take $10 dollars today or $100 dollars in a month, what would you choose? The $100 dollars could be the meal with your family, and no one is going to judge you. For me this week, the $100 dollars was to reach my goal weight. Yay for me!
On the program one can decide to sit down with their family and eat what they are eating, and that's fine. As a health coach I'm not going to put them in time out, I reserve that for my two year old. But what I will say is don't kick yourself when you're down. It will only make you stress, and stress is the number one thing (for me personally) that I would want to avoid because of the affects it has on health. So DON'T stress! Pick yourself up and try again. You will make it and be completely satisfied with your end result, regardless of the slip ups you made along the way!
