1. Plan for treats.
Making sure you get to enjoy your favorite treats every once in a while will help you from feeling deprived. Pick a night each week when you can indulge in something decadent like a piece of chocolate mud cake. Give yourself permission to truly enjoy your dessert! Taking time to savor a treat is always more satisfying than gobbling it down with feelings of guilt or shame.
2. Put your pantry on a diet.
If most of the foods in your house are healthy, then you’re already halfway there. If you must have tempting foods around for a special occasion, store them out of sight or buy them at the last minute. On the big day, enjoy your favorite foods and send any leftovers home with your guests.
3. Choose your friends wisely.
Beware of any “friend” who continually tries to coerce you into “just a cappuccino” which you know really means a cappuccino and a slice of carrot cake with frosting an inch thick. Put these friends on hold until you’re feeling strong enough to say “no.” Or suggest a different kind of get-together such as a walk in the park or an afternoon at the movies.
4. Count the cost as well as the calories.
Allocate so many dollars per pound you plan to lose and save the money in a separate account or piggy bank. Or “pay” yourself so much every day you stick to your weight-loss plan. Then treat yourself to something fabulous like a new outfit or a day at a beauty spa.
5. Picture yourself.
Find some not-so-flattering photos of yourself and place them strategically at prime temptation spots—the fridge, the cookie jar or in your desk drawer. That way you will be reminded of the positive changes you’re trying to make to your life whenever you’re tempted to overindulge.
6. Surround yourself with witnesses.
Tell everyone you are changing your eating habits. Give them permission to remind you of your dedication to better health if they catch you transgressing. Make sure you have chosen friends who will support and encourage you. The last thing you need is someone who will try to trip you up.
7. Check up on yourself.
Write down every single thing that passes your lips each day. If you often eat when you’re upset or stressed, try to record this too. If you gobbled up a candy bar after arguing with your partner, you probably need to find alternative ways of coping with your moods. Next time try phoning a friend or going for a stress-relieving walk.
8. Keep a sense of proportion.
We all slip up from time to time. We all forget our best resolutions and bend the rules. It’s not the end of the world. The worst thing you can do is give in and say, “Well, I blew it. Let’s forget it. I’m never going to succeed.”
Now, that would really be cheating. Not just cheating on your diet, but cheating on yourself and your health as well.
Good Luck my friend.
put a piece of gum in your mouth!! or dont buy the food….keep it out of reach!
Try what I do! I ALWAYS have a pack of my favorite flavored gum with me and whenever I start craving anything bad for you, or craving something to eat period when it’s not time to eat, I just pop a stick of gum in my mouth and it usually kicks the craving for awhile. That and now you have a piece of gum occupying your mouth and surely you don’t wanna eat while you have that in your mouth.
Give that a try a see how that works for you. Good luck!
i chew gum to not think about food and drinking lots of water but as long as ur eating heathily then it should be okay. if your hungry eat an apple or something good for you.
If you really are un-happy with your weight (this will sound silly)
But look at your self naked in the mirrior, every time you feel like you want to cheat, trust me it helps! ive lost 20kgs by looking at my self naked in the mirrior and now ive lost more then what i wanted to its fantastic give it a go!!!!!
GOOD LUCK
Spreading the food you do eat through six small meals really helps keep the cravings under control, also making sure you eat enough calories is important.
However, alot of experts actually recommend having a cheat day, where you can eat 1 “bad” meal. That way you keep it under control, as well as have a day of the week to look forward to cheating a little. And guess what, doing so can actually help boost your metabolism.
I have lost 76lbs. If you don’t give in to your cravings once in a while, you will want it even more.
I cheated on my diet once a week. I didn’t over do it though. I ate things i gave up during the week and didn’t have any problem with sticking to my diet. Yes, cheating was part of my diet. I even had a little chocolate almost every day.
I tell people………..no woman has anything on me, when it comes to chocolate.
I was 6ft, 246lbs, 50+ inch waist. Now 170lbs, 34- inch waist.
Don’t go on a diet!
Don’t buy the forbidden food. It’s that simple my friend.
