I'm going to tell you a secret about weight loss. No, I haven't perfected it but I know it
will help determine your success or lack of success. At least it does for me.
You have to plan your food.
That's right! You can't just wait
till you are hungry to decide what to eat.
If you do, the chances are you will grab an unhealthy snack, go to a
fast food place or eat more than you should.
Plan your meals for a week.
Make a grocery list around those meals.
Choose a day or an evening and prepare your breakfasts and
your lunches for the week, especially if
you work.
Keep a drawer in your fridge that is just for your
foods. Let the kids and family have the
rest of the fridge but that one drawer is YOURS!
Keep your fruits and cut up veggies there. Have some extra protein servings there. When you are hungry, go to your drawer.
When I don't plan that is when I fall off my food plan.
Now, I know a lot of people losing weight want everyone to
think that everything is hunky dorey every day.
IT ISN'T!! Yes there are times we
eat unhealthy. Yes, there are times we
overeat. Yes, we even gain a few pounds. But we keep getting back on track instead of
giving up.
I don't know anyone who doesn't mess up while losing
weight. No one. If they don't admit it, well, they are in
denial. lol
That is why you need to plan. Planning is the key to staying on your food
plan!
As long as I have food for making my meals, prepare some of
my meals for the entire work week and have my drawer stocked, I will stay on
plan. If I don't, I'm likely to be
eating something that is unhealthy for me.
And for me that is carbs. Lots
and lots of carbs.
My weight loss stops.
My blood sugar rises. I get
fatigued. I have no energy.
That 2 hours a week planning and preparing makes it so much
easier. I don't think about what I'm
going to eat. It's already determined.
So, now you know.
Planning and preparation is the key.
Give up a couple of hours of TV or internet or playing games. Your body will thank you. You'll feel better and you'll lose
weight.
It works for me!
