2. Make your meals smaller throughout the day. Breakfast should be your largest meal, and they should gradually get smaller as the day goes on.
3. Always remember that your next meal is more important than your last one. Don't assume that because you messed up the last meal you ate that you have blown it. Get back on track right away. Don't give yourself the excuse, "I've already blown it so I'm just gonna eat whatever I want."
4. Put a note on your refrigerator that asks, "Am I hungry, or am I bored." This will remind you to consider the reasons you are choosing to eat at that time.
5. Avoid sodas and high sugar drinks at all times. High sugar drinks only increase your cravings for high sugar, high fat foods.
6. Hang your swimsuit on your refrigerator door. It will remind you why you are working to get healthy.
7. Avoid eating after 8pm. This gives your body ample time to digest all you have taken in for the day prior to going into sleep mode, which is also a very slow metabolism mode.
8. Eat breakfast everyday. This helps your body kickstart for the day. It starts up your metabolism and gets your body systems going.
9. Read your labels carefully. Know the difference between calories per serving and total calories in a package. You might be surprised to find out that many foods give you calories per serving, but there are more than one serving in a package. READ LABELS everytime!
10. Know what a serving size is for the foods you eat regularly. Be sure to make an effort to know what a single serving is of all your favorite foods and snacks so that you can easily keep track of the amount of calories that you are consuming.
Remember, losing weight is simply burning more energy than you consume. Keep it simple and keep it within your control.
Until next time, keep reaching for that healthy, happy life you deserve.
