Being overweight is not our fault. Don’t be depressed, you are not weak and lack willpower. The food companies take advantage of us. They package food and run commercials that trick us into thinking that the products are low in fat etc. This is just a sales gimmick and a ploy to get us to buy their products. They are manufacturing food that is addicting. This makes you frequently hungry, causes you to eat more, and gain more weight. This becomes a vicious cycle. I put on more weight just trying to lose it. I DON’T WANT TO DIET! I want to change my eating habits thus changing my life forever. There is a better way!

There are many benefits to losing weight, such as lessening the risk of heart disease, blood sugar control, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure and less joint pain. I am looking forward to improving my energy, having better self image, and greater confidence.
Let’s start with 10 tips to eating less
- Eat less and more often. If you eat every 3 to 4 hours and supply your body with protein you will burn fat faster.
- Drink before you eat. Before you start your meal you should drink a full glass of water. Wait 20 minutes and start your meal
- Eat knowingly. Focus on your meal. Don’t eat in front of the TV, or you will become distracted. You are more likely to eat less because you will realize when you are full.
- Use the fist measurement. Your portions should be no larger than your fist. Your fist is about the size of your stomach.
- Leave food on your plate. If you leave just a little food from every meal it will add up. At the end of the week you could have left 1 to 2 meals behind. This will add up to extra weight loss. If you are at a restaurant ask your waitress to bring half the meal and put the rest in a doggy bag. This will help if you are tempted to eat the whole portion.
- When you sit down to eat your meal, take your time (don’t forget your glass of water). Eat slowly; this will give your brain a chance to catch up to your stomach. You will realize that you are full. If you just shovel it in, you will just eat too much.
- Clean out your closets. Don’t leave tempting food like candy, cookies, chocolates, and so forth in your closets. If you need to keep them in the house, put them out of sight. Try and forget you have them.
- When you’re done… you’re done. Remove the plate from the table. Don’t allow yourself to pick at the leftover food on your plate.
- Use a smaller plate. If you use a smaller plate it will appear fuller. Your eyes will tell you that the portion is ample. Let your eyes deceive your stomach.
- Allow yourself a reward. You can’t deprive yourself of all sweets and goodies. When you are feeling deprived, allow yourself a small treat. Keep some treats on hand in a small baggie. When you are craving something sweet just grab your baggie. Don’t lure yourself with the whole bag of chips or M & M’s. Make sure your baggie isn’t filled to the top. Make these bags when you are not hungry. Just a little will go a long way. Try not to do this more than 2 to 3 times per week. Don’t sabotage your headway.
