Save it for later 05/29/2010
today I feel like sharing one of my best diet strategies. I call it "save it for later" and it works like magic! Use it two ways: 1) whenever you are tempted by a naughty treat, just think to yourself "I will have it later" or 2) whenever you are served a too-large portion size, save the rest for later. Simple, yet effective. Life is soooo full of tempations and deterants, we all face them several times a day. sometimes it is okay to indulge (actually, it's a good thing), but when indulging becomes a regular occurance it can begin to show... If you turn down a treat, will you regret it? Probably not. Especially if you know you can have it later. When later comes you might not even want it. (that's the seemingly magic part) :) When you are working towards a goal you might be even more motivated to push that "later" back by a few months. Just think "when this few months is over, I will eat or drink whatever I want, but for now, I want to reach my goal" Prioritize your desires. Which is first on your list? major accomplishment or temporary indulgence? As the saying goes, "a moment on the lips, forever on the hips" haha! it's not true, (the second part is a huge exageration) but it's fun to say. and it certainly makes you think. I love this trick! Try it and tell me what you think. CommentsJohn Griffin 05/29/2010 3:36pm
