As a member of Brenda's BootCamp you receive an email from Brenda, Me!, daily. I always like to include series which lead to very resourceful data for your new lifestyle change. We are now on a trip which involves learning about our food history.
I thought I would take a moment and see how many of you know what foods really trigger your cravings? And did you know that could very well be your downfall in failing yet another diet? In looking forward think about what foods you have had a problem with in the past. Is it a cookie? Do you just love them so much you have to have like 3 or if they are the girl scout cookies, the whole darn box?!?! Yes, so that would be a problem and if you are dieting and have been faithful in staying away from those cookies without fault, your doing awesome. Yet, your human, one day comes and there they are, present and accounted for in your house. Oh yea, you bought them to help out someone, thinking your doing a good deed right? Your ok, you have beat this cookie drama so you can handle it. Ah shucks, just having one won't hurt. So there you go, one then two...and WOW!! the whole box is empty. You have just triggered your craving for cookies again and the rest of the week your looking for more and adding the pounds back on! Now that is your favorite cookie mind you, maybe the thin mint ones...but if you want to help out, go ahead and buy
a box and donate it somewhere else, just not to your house or in your presence and soon that feeling of wanting it, not needing it, will go away! ;) Out of sight out of mind! ;)
That is how you should approach your food, historically before calorically! ;)
