So I’m sat there..
The kids are playing
And I sit there
All smug-
Thinking
“Wow, I’ve got this sorted”
As I sit there, reading / writing a blog…
But then all of a sudden
My concentration is interrupted .
By no noise …
Just silence …
“They must be asleep?”
“Right, I best go to check the kids..”
Not in the living room.
Not in the kitchen .
Must be upstairs ?
Still can’t hear anything.
And…
There they are
On the bed
With white sheets.
Dressing up as dinosaurs
Using Mrs Fruci’s make up
Oops..
Thank you stain remover..
But my point here?
How easily my concentration was broken by silence…
And this brings me to
Confront eating ..
And when you say things like
“I just do it, I don’t even know why”
And there are many reasons but here’s
Some of the reasons which not only the research points to
But also my experience working with thousands of ladies:
1- you may not be eating enough in the day —> leading us to feeling hungry / deprived and couple that with stress and tiredness and tasty food available on an evening…and it’s going to be tough
Solution —> get protein at each meal
2- Journal – grab a pen (most won’t do this)…
what are you craving?
is it worth it?
what is the smallest amount you would need to be happily satisfied ?
most people don’t know…
And if you don’t know what’s going to satisfy you…
Then consider what feeling you’re actually trying to create when you do it ..
Because if you don’t know
You’re always going to be disappointed…
3- I just eat at the thought of having to diet – are you trying to diet too aggressively?
Which is meaning you don’t actually start?
And actually means your fast quick fix diet is actually slower
Than something that may be more doable and sustainable ..
But also consider this
You say you’re depriving yourself
But don’t forget to also consider what you may be depriving yourself of
By comfort eating
Eating when you’re not hungry
Skipping exercise..
There are always two sides …
Consider both
Pause
And make the choice you are happy with.
That’s it.
