What your waistline says about your heart
Be proactive. The
best way to avoid constant temptation is to avoid buying the
temptation in the first place! Spring clean your pantry and get rid
of all unhealthy temptations. Fill your cupboards with healthy
snacks instead.
Hydration: Drink
plenty of water throughout the day. Make fresh cold water easily
accessible to you (e.g. water filters, sport bottles). Water is
essential to good health. It helps the body function more
efficiently, flush out toxins, and it is a safe appetite
suppressant. Best of all, it is calorie free!
Follow the 80/20
rule. Eat healthy most of the time however allow yourself those
special treats, splurges or enjoying special occasions.
Fill up on
low-calorie foods/drinks (e.g., salad, water) before attending a
party or event where a lot of high-calorie food/drinks will be
served
Find easy ways to
increase your physical activity that won't feel like "exercise."
Park the car a few more blocks away; Take the stairs, etc.
Are you your
priority? You need to make time for yourself to focus on your
mental and physical health. No healthy changes in your life will be
effective or sustained unless you can dedicate time to fulfil your
needs. In the long run, you will be far more helpful to those you
love by demonstrating self-love.
Eat your favourite
food earlier rather than leaving it to last (a guaranteed way to
overeat).
Mindfullness is
the antidote to mindless eating and self defeating behaviours around
food. It puts you on the path to permanent weight loss.
Choose to stop making excuses today!
Start to live in the solution, not in the problem. Declare yourself
a no-whine zoneJ!!
Negative thinking
is a bad habit and can be shifted with practise. An attitude of
gratitude is one of the quickest ways to shift from negativity
to positivety.
Take a moment and
look around you, and then give thanks for what already exists in
your life (the big and the small things). Do this daily and in no
time at all, you will generally feel remarkably better!
Learn to meet your
needs with other things besides food. Practise self care by
pampering yourself on a regular basis.
Put your focus on
your strengths and talents, not on what you perceive is missing.
Practise loving
kindness with yourself.
Put an
inspirational picture of yourself or a message to yourself on the
refrigerator door.
Get
support from friends and
family.
Have a treat or
two now and then. Too much denial leads to feelings of punishment.
Keep your hands
busy (preferably doing something that is fun).
Wear clothes that
fit and flatter you.
Walk – any chance
you get. Move your Butt!!
Keep an eye on
those hidden calories in drinks.
Stop comparing
yourself to others and rather be the best you can for you!
