It’s the New Year, and many of us have a weight loss goal that we would like to achieve this year.
The problem is, it is most likely with the help of a diet plan.
What is wrong with a diet plan? Well nothing really. It’s just that most people find them hard to stick to.
Ask yourself? How long have you lasted on a diet plan? Did you lose ALL the weight you wanted or did you quit before that goal?
I would like to suggest to you a different type of weight loss help this year - In the form of a friendly food journal.
Now before you groan. Hear me out.
This isn’t just a normal food journal where you write down all the foods you eat noticing how bad you are eating (and usually omit writing many of the foods you ate down – because you are embarrassed that you are cheating on your plan). With the friendly food journal, the objective is not to notice how many bad foods you are eating, but to notice WHY you are eating in the first place.
In the age of Super Size Me, we have become super sized. Many of us don’t even realize what a normal portion of food looks like any more.
With the friendly food journal, you write down what you eat (without judgement of yourself) but you also write down; Did you feel hungry when you ate it. If not, why did you eat it?
So many times it’s the WHY we are over-eating that makes all the difference, not the what we ‘should be eating.’
