We’ve all been there.
The pizza arrived and we said “just two slices” but then ate four.
We promised ourselves no dessert, but suddenly we ate a super-sized portion.
Overeating is incredibly common – more common than not I’d venture to say.
But there are obvious consequences in doing that.
Extra weight, fatigue, disease, and low confidence to name a few.
So, today I want to share 4 things you can do to combat binge eating:
⦁ Give yourself a 20-minute buffer – when you’re having a craving or want second helpings, give yourself 20 minutes before you act on it. There’s a very good chance you’ll no longer want it.
⦁ Plan your meals – when there’s no question about what you’re eating, it’s much easier to make healthy choices than choose when you’re fueled by hunger.
⦁ Get it out of the house – anything that tempts you from forgetting momentarily about your goals with its lure shouldn’t be kept in your home. If you can’t access it, you can’t eat it!
⦁ Get yourself back on track ASAP – one choice that’s misaligned to your
goals doesn’t mean the day is a wash. And we all know how a day’s wash can turn into a week then into a month, etc…
What about you? Do you have any tips or tricks to avoid overeating? I’d love for you to share them with me!
