It will help you understand the difference between hunger and a craving. -second, when you want some sweets, that aren't fat free, ask yourself if you are really hungry. And if you are, go for something healthy. Like gram crackers or some fat free snack. -third, if you need help making sure you get all your water everyday, fill up like a water jug, like a kool-aid jug or something, with 6 8oz. (1 cup) glasses of water. and make sure you drink at least that everyday. -forth, exercise. Try doing it in the morning before you eat anything (so you dont get sick during the exercise) and try to do it in the morning because you wont come up with anything else during the day and run out of time. And if you can't do it in the morning, try to do it at night. -fifth, start doing some extra curricular (spell check) activities. Things that will keep your mind off food. -sixth, if you get cravings, go for COLD water or gum. -seventh, know what you want, and what you need to do to get there. Messing up doesn't change the solution to losing weight. Stop saying, oh tomorrow i'll start, next week I'll start. Don't throw away a whole day just because of one mistake. That's some tips for right now. If you want anymore, or just want to talk my email is Sunny680ajh@aol.com, good luck. |
