I have been on WW for 14 weeks and I am 2 pounds away from losing 10% of my body fat. YEAH!!! My next task is to build mental and physical lines of defense. First line of defense - Make sure that there are no high calorie foods or snacks in my house. I tried to clean out all the Thanksgiving leftovers and sweets. Second line of defense - Review my exercise routine. I need to make sure that I am working all of my muscle groups. Third line of defense - Avoid the temptation to eat on the run or away from home.
Real life example - I recently went to an event that involved a great deal of walking. At the conclusion of the walk I was thirsty and hungry. I also had a STRONG urge for a hamburger. I thought about the burger all the way to my car. I sat behind the steering wheel debating whether or not to stop at a restaurant for a burger or go straight home. I decided to go home and eat a veggie burger. I baked a cup of sweet potato fries and sprayed them with cooking spray to make them crispy. I managed to avoid the urge to splurge by talking myself "off of the temptation ledge."
It is hard to make lifestyle changes BUT it is worth it. Challenge: Avoid the urge to splurge this week. It will be difficult during the holiday season. Try to find low calorie versions of your favorite foods. We can do it.
Have a Veggie Good Day,
