Hey guys, after a near food-derailment, I was reacquainted with a real tool for success that I'd filed in the back of my mind!!! It's SOOO much harder to cheat or to plan or even think about cheating when you have a very full belly!
HALT before you cheat!!!! Never let yourself get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired--especially with the holidays coming up. Holiday season, loneliness and depression are a reality for many of us. Please remember to make sure to treat yourself with love and care this season!!!??
What are your strategies for maintaining healthy food relationships this year?
P.S. I just wanted to add, for me, the best thing to ward off loneliness during the holidays was to quit thinking about myself and my situation and to get busy serving others. Not meaning to be preachy, but it was amazing how good it felt to go volunteer to serve Thanksgiving dinner to the homeless, or to go to the old folks home and visit with rando old peeps. Plus, you meet a lot of people to get you out of your aloneness--even if it's for a couple of hours. It feels like your heart grows 3 sizes, just like the Grinch's!
