Lately I've come to realize that I usually eat really fast. Maybe it's because I'm usually in a hurry, or because I let myself get too hungry and then I want to scarf it down!
Today in my Jillian Michaels newsletter they were giving tips on how to slow down your eating! They must have read my mind :)
Here they are:
"To slow down when eating, keep these tricks in mind:
If you're right-handed, eat with your left hand, and vice versa.
Cut your food into small pieces, and eat your meal one morsel at a time.
Make yourself put your silverware down in between bites.
Take a sip of a beverage in between bites. Water is always best. "

(Brandon has told me I don't drink enough when I eat :)
This week has been SOOOOO stressful and yesterday I was stressed and depressed and just wanted to go get something bad for me to eat. I thought about calling my friend Becky to get her support, but I didn't even have to call her to feel motivated. This may sound silly but I could hear what she would say in my mind and it helped! I thought about my goals and what I really wanted and made a choice not to eat bad food. Self control is hard! Making good choices can be hard. But so worth it.
Hope everyone's having a great week and Happy Friday!!
Is that ME Becky? :) You know too many Becky's. lol I'm being good but I gained some weight but I credit aunt flo...hopefully things will be better next week.
