Many people don’t realize how much food they consume while they are focused on their favorite movie or TV series. Avoid having food nearby or if you really need to snack, prepare something healthy like carrot sticks.
One of the common downfalls of any diet programs is not the diet itself, but the individual’s attitude towards food. Self--discipline is a very important trait you need to cultivate so you don’t constantly cave in to temptation.
If you are following a special diet or a health regimen, let people who truly care about you know what you are into so they can understand and adjust accordingly. A support group is very important to help you start motivated and provide the affirmation and encouragement when you need it the most.
Every time you find it overly difficult to resist temptation, keep yourself busy so you don’t have to dwell on the thought. Allowing yourself to be lured in indulging on one cookie will most likely lead to another one.
