Let's face it: If you have made resolutions in the past, you have probably not kept them, especially when it comes to your weight. The problem is that we make such strict resolutions, doing it cold turkey (as in, you either do this or you don't and you fail), making it a no-brainer as to why the intent is immediately lost on January 2.
Many people have just quit making resolutions, because they know their resolve to keep them is as quickly gone as a bag of chips. No sense going to all that work--you get out a nice new journal, write your resolutions in it, and then, POW! a few hours later, you have fallen off the wagon of good intentions, just as the universe predicted.
Not liking to fail before getting out of the gate, this weight watcher has decided that we are too hard on ourselves, seeing a healthier lifestyle as a black-or-white/either-or proposition. Example: You are either exercising or you are not. You are either eating healthy or you are not. Well, with just one option (on or off), anyone can pretty much guess the outcome. (continued below the ad)
So, here is my solution. This weight watcher will not give up desserts; after all, it isn't Lent yet! Desserts are my food sin of choice, and they can wreak havoc with a restricted calorie diet. But here is what I can do that, frankly, should be fairly easy to maintain: Set a limit on desserts--say, three a week. These are not your 'fresh fruit' desserts either, but the kind that obviously have more going for them than an apple. When you decide to eat one of your allotted desserts, eat only three bites--and not the tablespoon-size either. Eat those bites as if they are the last food you will get--chew slowly. Various studies show that people just need to satisfy their sweet tooth, and it doesn't take much. A fat burning overview can help you construct a clear summarize of what you demand to focus on to carry out your fat burning objective if you're a novice; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an intermediate or more enhance step of their weightloss strategy. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as tips for your personal weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not a similar thing. Many weight loss programs have fooled people into wondering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by resulting in a person's body to lose more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. If you can't stop at three bites, then divide the dessert in half, and share it with someone. If no one is around, then toss the other half into the garbage. (Just do it!)
Now, isn't that simple enough? I do believe the trick is in just satisfying your urge for something sweet. Do not deprive yourself to the point you sabotage everything you have worked for in eating healthier and gaining a better lifestyle. Just keep the craving down to half the dessert or just three small bites. Your waistline will love you, and you will probably see your triglycerides drop, too (a good thing). After a couple of months, try scaling back to just two desserts a week, and then one dessert. As you scale back on the sugar, you will eventually not want it as much. Try it!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
P.S. If your sweet tooth is yelling, you could try one of those mini bite-size desserts that Starbucks sells for $1.50. The only problem is that when you drive up for your coffee, especially at the location here in Albuquerque on Academy and Tramway; you see supersized color photographs of those little sugar sins--they are truly in your face. They offer three for a cheaper price, but don't fall for that--if you have to, just buy one. You will survive, trust me.
