MY PLAN OF ACTION FROM 1st October 2008
Remember how I felt after the food binge from 26th Sept to 30th Sept 2008 – ate what I wanted completely off plan – felt bloated, sick, constipated, acidic tummy – don’t want that anymore do you!!!
Plan each day/week by Thursday – before group on Friday morning and before shopping
Only buy things with known syn values
Hide away high syn treats such as biscuits & crisps & chocolate
Try something new each week – recipe, fruit or veg
Don’t let my inner emotions get to me and start comfort eating
Plan to EXERCISE at least 60 mins each day – in addition to walking I do during day and at work
Keep active/occupied – so am not thinking about food
Syn free food always available for snax
Try to snack on SUPER-FREE FOOD (free on red & Green)
Drink at least 2 ltrs water a day
BE POSITIVE
Don’t let one bad day become one bad week/month etc
Keep diary/blog of food diary/activities/emotions etc DAILY
Don’t bring myself down to level of others
Ask for help & Support – tackle problems head on – don’t shy away from criticism it may be constructive criticism
Stand up for myself whenever feeling down/put upon/used/taken for granted
Try & make family understand my feelings/problems and ask them to respect what I am doing and avoid offering me temptation
Emotional Eating – BE-AWARE of it - and tackle the problem when it happens.
Restart from 01.10.08– new start new challenge
Write a weekly plan & stick to it
Why do I want to lose weight?
I. Health
II. Look Good
