Weight Loss is no laughing matter. Being overweight can kill you and certainly shorten your life but here a few comments and tips overheard at recent meetings I have attended.
Mummy Tax is when you buy all the kids chocolates but have to taste them first so they don’t get poisoned.
Hide Your Food. The diet food is sometimes so tasty some women resort to falsely labelling the food in the fridge in a desperate effort to save the food for themselves. Pam hid her Spaghetti Bolognese inside a container labelled Cabbage.
Slow Cooker – a woman in the class was introduced to a slow cooker, put her food in on day one and the cooker was so slow she didn’t get fed that day.
” I nearly ate me hands going to bed I was that famished”
Weight Loss should be a no pressure affair – pressure is only for tyres!
Kelly had lost 4 stone 11 pounds in a year. “I’m going home to weigh my kids and find which one I have lost!”
Save your left over’s from meals. They can be lifesavers!
Daily Weigh in - This works for me but you may find otherwise. I weigh myself every morning before breakfast. That way I can react to the increase in weight immediately and alter my diet for the day ahead to get myself back on course. Leave it to once a week or less frequent and you may be so disheartened by the increase that you give up the battle all together!
Don't eat anything after 9.00 pm. That's it!
Switch from wine to Martini + low-fat lemonade/ tonic. Put a dollop in the bottom of the glass and fill up with lemonade/tonic but leave space for a final drop of Martini. This gives the kick!
Smaller portions - if you eat anything and it takes more than five minutes to eat then the chances are you are eating portions that are too big.
Snack Ready - slice an apple or a pear, carry a packet of figs or brazil nuts. Always be prepared for a snack attack. Eat more frequently through the day small portions.
Drink lots of water. Often we eat when in fact we are thirsty and dehydrated.
A Good Diet leads to weight loss, exercise leads to toning and fitness.
Let me know how you get on! Good Luck! Mark
