Often the best intentions to lose some weight are undermined by bad habits. More often than not these are subconscious leading us to not even realizing them. So what exactly am I talking about?
Firstly, it’s very common to eat everyday at same time. Just like when you were a kid, dinner was always set for 6:30 p.m. It wasn’t relevant how hungry everyone was, it was dinner time simple as that. But guess what, now you’re on your own and your goal is to lose some weight. So here is what we do: We eat when we’re really hungry, there is no point in having a huge dinner when you’re not hungry.
Secondly, there is no need to clean up your plate when you’re already full. Yes, I know it’s hard to throw food away. But when you’re full, you’re full. Learn to listen to your body, even though it may be difficult to stop half way through that delicious favorite dish of yours when you’re only half way through.
Thirdly, you will have to ask yourself do you eat when you’re upset or angry? It is a more common source of stress relief than you might think. But luckily there are other ways to feel better: How about talking a walk or doing some exercise? Or maybe a little punching bag to release some anger? Just think about it for a while I’m sure you’ll think of something suitable for you.
So in conclusion, be honest to yourself when trying to identify such habits. We’re not perfect but unless we try to work on our flaws we won’t be able to get rid of them…
