food attitude

Do you struggle with food cravings and try to eliminate some foods all together. You made already be sabotaging your diet with this type of thinking. I read an article about labeling "BAD food" is a bad idea. We need to BUILD a relationship with food that will build self-control.
Stop labeling. This actually wants you to eat the food more by making your body crave it. Be conscious about your eating and have just enough of the food that you might be wanting to cut out to satisfy. The article says that several studies have shown that suppressing the urges most likely will result in eating more of the food.

Dump the idea of Diet Foods
Often we we are trying to start a diet plan we think about banning certain foods. Not necessarily true.. We need to read the labels so we can choose wisely. Nothing is absolutely bad, we want refocus our minds to eating healthy and not worry so much about the "food". Try to enjoy the food that you choosing to eat.!
Moderation
Remember the "eat everything in Moderation" This is still true today for most of us. BUT let still remember that there might some food that are really triggers. We need to be aware of what these are to each of us, allowing a person not to over indulge in that food.
Rearrange your environment for success--thought that was a neat statement-. Choose snacks that you like but not just LOVE. Try having them when you eat out or at a party instead of having the trigger foods in your house ALL the time.
Keep cravings in check!!
Remember that cravings are not ALL bad. The problem seems to be us and the easy access to anything we want whenever we want.  This is why establishing what we really crave is so important to any plan we are establishing. Try to the food journal that has been mentioned before to get an idea of what you are really craving and when. In doing this a person can start to give themselves some alternatives at the bad eating time and continue the weight loss program that you might be on.
Let us all try to stay in tune with our bodies.
