Ladies and Gentlemen!
Do u wanna know the NR. 1 trick to lose weight? Do you wanna feel sexy, get rid of a few pounds or just hate the dieting cycle? Here is the trick that will change your life, your body, your attitude and you will be a brand new person!!!
Do I sound like a late night TV commercial?
I know, just had to be a little silly.
Now,lets get a little serious.
How many of you are desperately starting to lose weight and they last exactly until noon?
Are u on a constant diet and after you had the cookie you just blew it and went straight back to your old habits.
Or lets come the weekend, ladies night, a couple of cocktails and you feel like you just awakened a raging monster inside of you that wants to gorge on nothing more than fries, tortilla chips and of course chocolate cake.
The next day you tell yourself you will never eat again and swear you will only drink water, lemon juice and syrup for the rest of your life.
We women are a mess when it comes to food. No matter what we do, we can't seem to win the food fight! We are happy-we eat! We are sad-we eat!We are bored-we eat! We worked out- we eat!
Lets just be honest, there is always a reason for us to eat, every day, all day 24/7!!!
If we use all the energy and thoughts we have about food and invest it in something that really matters, ladies we could change the world!
So here is my Tip, that I personally found will make a huge difference in your eating habits.
Eat and think!!!
Eat when you are hungry and for no other reason!
Cook yourself a beautiful meal and savor every bite. Smell it, look at it, really taste the flavor.
Chew it at least 20 times if not more, and after you swallowed it listen to your body and see how it makes you feel. Does it make you feel light, gives you energy or do you feel heavy and sluggish?
Put down the fork and take a break, how full are you? Do you really need to consume everything that is on your plate? You shouldn't feel stuffed, just satisfied.
Don't have any distractions while you eat, no TV, radio, book or anything else that makes it hard for you to focus on your meal. Eat slowly, don't just mindless stuff your face.
If you prepared yourself a tasty meal, remember how much love you put into it. Where do the ingredients come from and how they will heal and nourish your body.
There is not much love in a frozen pizza!
We always overeat, that is why we gain weight. We think we deserve the cookie or reward ourselves with food but ruin our health. We stuff our feelings, so we don't have to deal with them, but this to shall pass. We have to learn to cope with uncomfortable feelings. Food is not the answer. Sure it is easy, but it doesn't solve the problem. It just makes us feel guilty.
Even if you eat a a double fudge brownie! Savor it, enjoy every bite, listen to how it makes you feel.
Always ask yourself why you want to eat the burger or the peanut butter cups? Is it a reward, are you bored or stressed?
We all have to learn that food is not our enemy, it is there to nourish us and it is fun and yes on special occasions it is there for celebration but it should never be an excuse or replacement for human connection and self love.
One more thing, throw out the scale!!! It is just a stupid number on the scale that doesn't define you.
Love, Cookies and Just Live
