It’s late evening, all the kids are in bed sleeping, hubby is downstairs working on his projects, and here I sit, in front of my computer, with the television on… and I am bored. That’s my cue. “Let’s find a little snack”, my inner voice tells me in that soft comfortable tone…. “c’mon, you know you wanna”.
I know that I have already had a great dinner, I am not hungry, but yet why am I thinking about food? It’s an all too common occasion. I know it is my boredom that triggers it.
Another trigger is having a bad day. It happens, we all have them. Whether I feel angry or sad, that can trigger a want or need for food. Does this sound familiar to you? Does this kill your diet?
So how do I cope with these triggers? First I recognize them for what they are. Using food for comfort, or simply for something to do… that means that I am an emotional eater. If I don’t try to avoid these situations they can impair my weight management. So I have come up with a few ways to try and not eat when I am not hungry.
- I keep a picture of what I consider a woman with the kind of body I aspire to on my fridge. This helps to keep me inspired and on track.
- I never skip a meal. I always have at least 3 meals a day regardless, and sometimes I have 4 or 5 smaller meals and I make sure that I include some form of protein every time I eat.
- I hold off as long as possible. If I am bored, then I will try and go to bed early and get some extra sleep, have a nice bubble bath, or pick up a book and read.
- I replaced all of the foods that I normally binge on with healthy alternatives, like raw veggies, fruit, IsaDelights®, SlimCakes® and those little bran snack bites.
- If I absolutely have a craving.. (which really isn’t that often since I started a cleansing lifestyle), then I will indulge in one of my healthy snacks.
Emotional eating can be a vicious cycle, because if you binge, then you feel guilty and ashamed, and then what happens? You eat to comfort yourself. It happens, I know that all to well. Just remember, every day is a new day, a new beginning… and those times of emotional eating will get fewer and far between.
I hope this helps.

Tips to get a Flat Tummy
Posted on: November 26, 2008
Most people think that you can get a flat tummy by doing crunches, crunches and more crunches. Unfortunately that is not the case. Let’s talk about why that is.
It doesn’t matter how many crunches you do, if you have fat on your stomach, you will not burn the fat by doing crunches. You cannot spot reduce the fat on your stomach, no matter how hard you try. You may get a great set of abs underneath, but you’ll never see it under all that fat.
Okay, so lets discuss what does work.
- Flat Tummy
Your Diet
No, I am not talking about going on a diet – but I am talking about what you eat. What you eat is the most important factor in reducing your belly fat. It is simple common sense. If you go to the gym and do crunches, lift weights and run the treadmill – then come home and eat chips and drink pop, honey you aren’t going to lose that fat! You are being counter-productive.
Things that you should eat
- Fruits and vegetables
- Whole wheat and grains (brown bread, not white)
- Lean meat and fish (try to avoid red meat)
- Nuts and legumes
- Fresh Fruit and Vegetables will help flatten your tummy!
Things to Avoid eating
-
Sugar
- Sugar substitutes
- Pasta
- Sugary cereals
- Canned soup (things high in sodium)
- Lunch Meat
Reduce the above from your diet and you will start to notice a change.
Exercise
Once you start to make the changes in your diet, you will actually start to feel better, and more energetic. It is at this point that you should start to incorporate a little bit of exercise into your plan. You do not have to go to the gym 7 days a week and spend hours there. Start by taking a short 15-minute walk each day.
Take it slow, and increase it by a little each week. If you want to work out in the gym, try the treadmill or elliptical machine for 15 to 20 minutes at first, then gradually increase the level of intensity as you go.
Cardiovascular exercise like walking with help burn fat! Oh and uhm, its not as bad as it looks, really! You Feel Awesome After! Honest! 🙂
One of the things that I also incorporated into my plan of action was to do a complete nutritional cleanse. This helped me reduce my waistline by 5 inches in 30 days. You can find out more by visiting my website at http://www.myjourneytoweightloss.com
Best of Success to you and your Sexy Abs!
