How snug are your jeans – this is the burning question.
The jeans – or a similar favourite piece of clothing - are the key.
There's no need to bother with scales – an inanimate piece of
intimidation – that sounds so weird – how can a pair of scales
intimidate?
If “BC” (before Christmas) you were happy with your eating habits
then it's just a matter of reverting to your previous routine.
However, the brain plays tricks – very quickly we get used to all
that rubbish i.e. sugar and fat and we like it. It's all the more
difficult therefore to get a grip.
Have
you done the dirty deed as suggested in Coming
next … tweak week! And
written down what you've consumed in the last week? When you read it
did you think “ouch – did I really consume all that?”. I
promise you that no-one can hear you so an expletive or two is
permitted under the circumstances.
There ain't no magic to this – try and eat three meals a day – if
you can't or you know that you're going to struggle because you've
got to drive three hours for a meeting or you've got to take your
child to an appointment slap bang in the middle of the day then plan
for it. There are products out there that will do the job or, if you
prefer and have the time to make a lunch-box either for yourself to
pop into the car or for yourself and your child – make it an
adventure and you get to share – it ain't rocket science, it just
needs a little thought, planning and prep.
If you need any encouragement then remember you're going to be
sensible for 4½ days!
A few preliminaries :
Think about your daily routine – are you :
home
based
office
based, commuting daily
in
the car for long periods
and a few questions :
Do
you eat breakfast
Do
you take a lunch-break at a regular time
Do
you get hunger pangs at the same time
every
day – commonly referred to as a “snack attack”
That should keep you pondering for a while!
