Don’t Let Bad Eating Habits Ruin Your Diet

So much of what we do is habit.

Our lives run on “auto pilot” and once we get in a groove it is often difficult to break out.

A few small changes to your eating routine can create some big changes on the scale if you are ready and willing to evaluate your bad habits and replace them with some new ones.

Snacking, mindless eating, weekend binges and emotional eating top the list as the biggest offenders to otherwise healthy eating.

Replacing empty calories with nuts, fruits and veggies can help snack time became a way to satisfy your hunger and provide yourself with nutritious vitamins and minerals.

Being conscious of your actions is the most important change to make.

Starving yourself all week only to binge on junk all weekend is not an effective way to lose or maintain your weight.

Try being more moderate and reigning in weekend behavior and give yourself a break during the week when you are less likely to go out of control.

Become aware of your actions and consciously choose.

After a while, the healthy choice will become your new habit

Eating with colleagues is a way to create camaraderie , celebrate shared accomplishments and show that you are part of the team.

If you don’t partake in the office cupcake and coffee breakfast you can be judged critically.

Also, slim peers are seen as threatening elements in the office, often considered to be tougher competition in an already shaky job market.

From subtle to shocking the methods of co-workers to undo your diet can result in weight gain for you.

Read on to find strategies to help you beat the pressure!

Some 29% of people on diets say colleagues pressure them to eat more, make fun of their diets or order them restaurant food they know isn’t on their diets, according to a recent survey of 325 dieters by Survey Sampling International for Medi-Weightloss Clinics, a Tampa, Fla., franchiser of physician-supervised weight-loss clinics.

The approach can seem innocuous, but can result in weight gain over time. A colleague brings in home-baked cookies to celebrate a promotion, a birthday or to rally the team, and who wants to look like they don’t appreciate the work of others if they decline?
