Self Control
One of the things which I struggle with a lot is self control around food, whether it is each time I go into the fridge is just have to have another chuck of cheese or another slice of sandwich meat, ordering way to much takeaway as "it will do me tomorrow" (aye right) and do not get me started on opening a huge bag of crisp or a big chocolate bar and not finishing the packet in one go. This is one of the big things I need to work on if I want to lose weight and keep it off. In other words I am not on a diet I am currently trying in change my eating habits for the better. Which means I shouldnt completely cut out all the food that love but I need to understand the negative impact is off eating too much of that it as well as why it isnt. Using a technique from Bob and Jillian is finding the number of calories in the big bag of crisp and the dip that I love or the calories in the pizza from domino's that I always get and then hop on the treadmill or crosstrainer and don't come off until I have burnt those calories. This is extra exercise which I would have to do on top of my usual routine to negate it. By doing so I hope this will open my eyes to it and demonstrate that if I want to eat it I'm going to have to burn it off. Hence, when I fall off the bandwagon (it happens to all of us) I have a way to combat it without any negative feelings about myself or with the weight loss programme.
Food Intake (1400 max)
Breakfast (max. 280)
Protein bar (90 calories)
Green Tea with Mint (20 calories)
Total = 110 calories (-170 calories)
Lunch (max. 420)
Salad (54)
Total = 54 (-366)
Dinner (max 420)
Stuffed Chicken with Bacon (800 calories)
Peas and carrets (100 calories)
Spaghetti (100 calories)
Total = 1000 (+580)
Snacks (max 280)
None
Total=0 (-280)
Even thought my dinner was very very very high in calories it is okay as I didn't snack today and my breakfast and lunch werecommend under my calorie allowance meaning I had enough banked for it to be ok, plus I still ended up with a calorie deficit of 236 calories.
