Temptations

We all face temptations every day. I am going tell you some to the things that have helped me resist temptation, I hope they help you as well. With Halloween coming up and your kids bringing all those goodies home from trick or treat, Holiday parties coming up, and the grocery store. I want you to be able to fight the temptation of giving into temptations.


5. Halloween Candy
Ration Candy: This is the last resort. This is not the ideal thing but if you think you can just eat one piece. With the kids rationing is a must.

Avoid Candy: This is what you want to do. I want you to think of the progress you have made in your Healthy Lifestyle. Think about what is driving you to the candy. I want you to be able to keep the power to make a healthy decision not to eat the candy.


4. Parties
Now we have a lot of parties coming up at the end of the year. This is when the friendly fire comes out. You have all been there your at a party and your friend goes here is a piece of cake. Well we have to get the it is only one day out of our heads. Yes it is only one day but so is tomorrow and the next day. Pretty soon It's only one day turns out to be 4 or 5 days that your at a party during the month.

3. Ice Cream Store: Ok this is one of my biggest temptations. The Picture was my first dessert when I was 1. The story is adorable I will tell you all sometime, but that is a different blog. I also got my grandfather to drive an extra 30 miles,when I was 5, just so I can have hot fudge cake. When I see this I just tell my self that no matter how good it tastes I will not feel good afterwards. So If you must have Ice cream. Get a small cone from McDonald's. Not this empty calorie loaded version. You could also do what I do, I make a protein shake a little thick and put it in a bowl. Viola, Healthy Ice cream substitute.

2.Eating out with friends:
Your friends haven't jumped on board with the healthy lifestyle that you have chosen. So there food can be very tempting to say the least. But this is where your relationship with food has to change. Dinner with your friends is not about the food. Food is fuel. Dinner with your friends is about the time you spend with them. If you are lucky they will support you and not say " I don't know how you can eat that."

1.Check out at the grocery Store:

This to me is one of the biggest temptations. Scenario: your in the store and done shopping it is almost dinner time and you are hungry. You see withing reach for about 50 cents food of some sort. Now what I have done when I am hungry when I go into a grocery store. Go straight to produce do not pass go. they have ready to eat fruits and veggies in little bags. Find a check out and buy them and eat. Not only can you make it through the check out you can also get out of the grocery store with more money in your bank account. Cause you just saved your self from buying all the junk you would have bought because you are hungry.


I hope these tips help you out. They have helped me. Remember Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.
