Indulging Without Bulging!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Platinum

I guess I should have posted this before Thanksgiving!  Well, in any case, these tips still apply.

 

Seems like every one is trying to diet these days....but, you don't have to deprive yourself to keep your waistline in check. 

 

Go for quality, not quantity.  Eat small amounts of the indulgences and savor every bite!

 

Before you snack, ask yourself if you are really hungry?  Save extra calories for those items you really want!

 

If you eat more than you should, get back on track.  Don't disregard your better eating habits because you think you already have blown it.

 

Do not avoid meals.  Chew slowly and keep these habits all year long....not just during the holidays.

The quality aspect is worth looking into. Train to appreciate & not fill yourself up

I overate and was so uncomfortable. I had a very small servings of everything and then had no room for dessert. That was probably the part I needed to leave off anyway. I have eaten light ever since.

Kristin, that positive attitude of staying on track even when we have a bit too much is sure good advise!

Kristin, these are all great tips. Moderation during the week and eat what I want on the weekends works for me...holidays can definitely make that harder!

On Thanksgiving you have to go for it . . . . And start the diet . . . . tomorrow.

Good luck and success.

I'm a believer in moderation. Also, having been a vegie for 40ish years, was one of the smartest "diet" decisions and lifestyle decisions I ever made. (this Sept. when I saw my sister, she said, "I keep WAITING for you to get fat!" Too funny. She's my younger sister and used to struggle with bad eating habits as a chubby kid.)

Hello Kristin ... very well said my friend and another great tip would be!

Drink a large glass of water right in the morning and some water before a meal
