If you see overweight like eighty million other Americans, there is still hope for you.
What you need is to change your eating habits forever. You begin by keeping a complete record of
what, where, when and how you eat. Once you understand your bad eating habits, you will find it easier
to exchange them for good ones. So keep a diary answering the following questions:
What do I eat during a day? Record every bit of food and drink you put in your mouth. This includes
that cracker you ate while opening the can ofsoup. It includes that Coca Cola you sipped from your
friend's glass. It includes your chewing gum. And remember when you stuck your finger I the peanut
butter jar. Remember everything! Most people are astonished at what they eat and drink in one day.
Behavi
or Change: Make a list of what you plan to eat during the day and follow your plan.
Where and when you eat? Do you eat standing or lying? Do you eat while cooking, reading watching
TV or driving? Do you eat when upset, angry, worried, or hurried? Do you reward or punish yourself
with food? Behavior Change: Eat three planned meals only. Sit up straight at your table. Do nothing but
eat.
How do I eat ? Most of us e
at on the run. When we eat fast , our stomachs don't get the message
that we are full. So we keep eating. Behavior Change: look at your food . Give yourself a chance to resist
its sight and small. Chew slowly. Cut up your food into small pieces and eat one piece at a time. Let your
food digest and listen to the message from your stomach before you reach for seconds.
