Snow Today – Gone Tomorrow

While the snow is falling and stacking up in inches, they are already calling for next week’s weather to be in the 50’s.

 


Daylight savings time is less than a week away. With a 50 degree forecast next week, make sure that when you are reaching for that extra snack or sabotaging yourself in any way that you will be seeing the spring weather next week.

50’s will feel like the 80’s and you know how we jump into seasons. You will be sure to see the shorts and t-shits on people around every corner. Who will be wearing them? Those who worked hard and did not let winter and snow storms determine their food choices.

Think about the choices you are making and the consequences they will cause. Every time you go off program it determines whether you will lose weight or maintain. If you really go off then you will gain.  Look at your Weight Loss Path for what it is. It’s a new way of life, and realize that everything you do and every decision you make is in your hands. If you stay on your path and not let everything around you get into your way you will succeed. Here are some helpful hints to you keep you on track today:

1) Think before you act and make sure that you are eating because you are hungry and not bored. If you ever took a speech class in college you would have learned that before you speak it’s always best to pause, think, then speak. Use this same rule when reaching in the cabinet. Pause, think and then act.

2) Go into your refrigerator and cut up lot of veggies and put them in bags. Or place them on a platter for you to grab when you feel the need to mindlessly munch. If you don’t have them ready you will be grabbing for unhealthier choices that you will later beat yourself up about.

3) Surf the internet for spring and summer clothes.  Summer shorts and bathing suits.  What do you want to see yourself in?

4) Go into your closet and try on the clothes that you want to be in this spring and summer. Do they fit? are they close? Keep them out and try them on every week. You will see that you are closer and closer to reaching your goals.

5)  Workout video – Yoga, workout, aerobic or weights and get your body moving. Indoor videos don’t have to give you the best workout of your life, they just have to give you enough to sweat a little and keep you away from the kitchen.  The combination of the two can make the differennce between losing and gaining.


Remember that how you feel and the control you have over yourself, what you eat and who you are, all go hand in hand. You can make the decision to grab and eat or simply say NO. I am not saying it’s easy. Yes it will be uncomfortable. I get it, you are stuck in the house and you want it. But it is shot term pleasure that will lead to long term unhappiness. No one feels good when they don’t have control over what they are doing. You know that if you choose the wrong foods and make the wrong decisions it will make you unhappy, and if you know that being healthy, thin and in control not only feels good but it also makes you happy, then it’s up to you to make it happen. It’s up to you to say NO and walk away, and it’s up to you to deal with the uncomfortableness of saying NO. It’s only food and you will not let it control who you are, how you feel and what your day will be. Stop making excuses and remember that if you do the right thing and make the right decisions your results will be the prize. Stay your path…make the right decisions…and don’t let anything get in your way…
