The Dog Ate My HomeworkHello!
One of my children (it would by unfair to give a name) has tried
every trick in the book to get out of handing in homework. Actually,
they’ve all gone through a phase of doing that, so much for my brilliant
parenting. Don’t kids realise that teachers have heard every excuse and no
longer believe any of them?
Over the past few weeks I have heard all sorts of excuses from my
clients:
-
It was Easter (all the snacks are chocolate, not like the healthy nuts and seeds we have at Christmas).
-
It snowed and I couldn’t exercise (some allowance here – the weather has been weird. But the snow melts very quickly and what do you do the rest of the week?)
-
It snowed and I didn’t feel like it. (Strange logic here – snow = winter = comfort food.)
-
I forgot (forgot to diet? Forgot that when you have one bit of the cake you eat the lot? Forgot you have 60lbs to lose?)
-
I’ve been busy. (Look, you’re going to be busy the rest of your life. And you’re going to eat the rest of your life. So eat sensible stuff. Otherwise you’ll be too ill or too dead to be busy.)
-
I was away with the family. (Family get togethers are difficult – it’s so easy to overeat. But if you stick to the right food groups and the right quantities you can do it. Have one celebratory meal; don’t over eat the whole way through the weekend.)
The eating plan I recommend isn’t that difficult. You don’t have to
count calories or fat grams, weigh or measure foods and it does allow the
odd celebratory meal or comfort fest. But you do have to be disciplined
and apply some common sense to your eating habits on a day to day basis.
It is the consistent behaviour in your diet that makes the difference.
Consistently eating well, you’ll get away with the odd lapse. Consistently
loosening your waistband, slumping on the sofa and troughing out when you
don’t need to will end in misery.
So decide now to be consistent in your eating habits and
consistently shed the pounds!
Happy eating.
The
Weight-Less Health Plan at Tranzformations looks at calorie balance,
metabolism and attitudes to food and eating. The great strength of this
programme is its flexibility - you will get lots of advice on nutrition if
you need it but you may find the most useful aspect of the programme is
the coaching that transforms your
attitudes to food.
This is an excellent weight loss programme if you know
that you need to change your mind before you change your
body!
At Tranzformations we can help you find the inspiration you need to transform your body and your life.
So take a look at the Weight-Less Health Plan and transform your body and your life.

Weight Loss Success
2. Learn How To Feel Great
Learn how to feel great about yourself. Value the real
you. Get in touch with your Inner Self, see her*, experience her feelings.
She is the real you, the valuable you, the you that is
there whatever shape you are. The shape you are in now is not the real
you. She is inside the current you, so shed the fat and let her out.
She’ll shine and be brilliant!
*Her and she can, of course, be him or he if that
applies to you.
Pick a food:
Sweet
Potato
Can be boiled and cooked just
like ordinary potato. It does taste sweet but has a lower glycaemic index
than potato. So if you have sweet tooth but want to keep the sugar under
control this is a good option.
Bust Bad Food Habits
Does that Danish have your name written on
it? (I
mean the pastry, not some Scandinavian hunk).
Bad food habits can be real diet busters. Try
the Bad Food Habits Buster. This is available as a
stand-alone session or as part of the Weight-Less
Health Plan.
