One key strategy I like to share with my weight loss clients is this:
If you don't buy it and you don't have it around, you can't eat it.
It's easy to get up, walk to the fridge and devour a quart of ice cream UNLESS you don't buy ice cream.
With no ice cream (or other junk food in the house), it makes you stop and think, "Am I really hungry?" "Do I really want to eat ice cream?" "Do I want it bad enough to go to the store and get it?" Probably not, right. This is one case where laziness actually works to our advantage!

That's the problem I have with my parents always buying Macadamia Nuts (solidified fat).
ReplyDeleteA good solution to that problem is to ask them to hide the macadamia nuts from you. Out of sight, out of mind. :)
