How To Change Your Eating Habits

How To Change Your Eating Habits
You wake up Monday morning and say to yourself 'Self, I am
a changed woman. I am going to lose all this ugly fat and I
am going to look hot.' You are all excited, so you decide
you are going to go on the latest diet. You eat perfectly
the whole day. Great!

On Tuesday you eat perfectly, except for a small piece of
chocolate as a reward. Hey, you deserved it. On Wednesday
you have to be at work early, so you miss breakfast. You
are angry at yourself, but at least the rest of the day
goes well.

On Thursday you are extra hard on yourself because you
don't want to repeat last morning's mistake. You are on
track the whole day, but you still manage to screw up
dinner.

Long story short, by next Monday you are back to your old
eating habits. And you are not the only one.

Many persons respond well to the 'change everything
overnight' method, but consider that you may be one who
does not. For you, trying to change too much too soon will
fail.

You need a mindset shift. Understand that you are trying to
permanently change your eating habits. These changes are
forever, ever.

Focus on making one small change each week. If you do this
for just 12 weeks your eating habits will be drastically
different. And if your mindset is that these are permanent
changes, then what's 12 weeks?

Let me give some examples of changes you can make.

Week 1: Eat a healthy breakfast every morning.

Week 2: Cut all soda in half.

Week 3: Eliminate all soda or at least switch to the 'diet'
version.

Week 4: Eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies.

And so on for twelve weeks or however long it takes.

These are many other changes you can make and there is no
correct order to these. You know better than I do what your
problem areas are. Focus on them one at a time. Start with
the biggest one and get that handled. Then move on to the
second biggest.

To keep yourself accountable, record at the end of each day
whether you have succeeded and.

Final word of advice. You will have setbacks. Don't use one
setback as an excuse to mess up your entire day and week
and eventually give up. If you experience a set back,
continue as if you did not.
