Sure, it’s a tradition to go out for a good meal and then gather around a cake to celebrate an anniversary, a birthday etc… You might say that we’ve been conditioned through the years to feel that food is the ideal reward for many accomplishments. Well, unless it is an anniversary etc.. why not break the habit of using food as reward? Buy a new outfit, take a trip, see a show and think of creative ways to reward the soul. Skip situations where the focus is all about food. Nope, you don’t get to go unless you can handle it. You know that party or barbeque where you can’t seem to find a spot where some terribly delectable tempting dish is not? Just skip it. The girls are having a night out at Betty’s house for chatting and desserts? Skip that night, and maybe have your friends over the following week for an evening of herbal tea and sugar free cookies? Shake it up, break the rules and avoid situations that are not right for what you are striving to accomplish for yourself!
It's not cool to be able to say, "Gosh, I was so busy I totally forgot to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner". It's just plain silly. I can’t say enough how counterproductive it is to skip meals. Meal skippers are often overly hungry for the next meal and likely to overeat. Even a tiny breakfast (handful of blueberries, a graham cracker and some green tea?) will help you get through the morning until you either have lunch or dive into a mini-meal. Oh, a mini-meal is the wholesome small amount of food you eat between breakfast, lunch and dinner. Folks who don’t have mini-meals are often the ones who are always soooo hungry.
So, keep looking out for number one! Get walking!
