- Dieting forces your body to store fat
- Dieting makes you food obsessed
- Dieting is a punishing journey
- Dieting causes the body to react negatively (Headaches, irritability, constipation)
- To diet is to harbor guilt
People Eat For The Following Reasons– How To Avoid Eating When You Are:
Stressed – Be aware of what’s stressing you and face it head on. The worst thing that can happen is when we are blindsided with something, we are totally unaware of. Do not feel defeated, many failures lead to ultimate success. Find ways to calm yourself. Try yoga, meditation, soft music, time alone, stretching, or soaking in a hot bath.
Low on energy – Everyone finds themselves with low energy specially if we tend not to take a break from what we are doing every so often. Shake it off, walk around, try walking around the block, listening to energizing music, or taking a short nap.
Lonely or bored – Make yourself a list of things that you can do when boredom strikes. Reach out to those that are positive and uplifting or you will be reaching for the refrigerator. Go see a funny movie, or go to the library, or window shopping, or get a massage at the mall, or a nearby park—anywhere there’s people.
