YO YO DIETING CAN BE VERY FRUSTRATING
Your problem is one that plagues almost every dieter. It is very depressing to lose weight and know that you are looking your best and see the pounds start creeping back until your body is out of shape again. The first step to take is to make a list of the reasons for your weight gain. Is it going out to lunch with the girls three times as week? Or making homemade pastry? Could it be night eating?
Figure out what your main eating problems are and take steps to solve them. This is much easier than constant dieting and overeating. The following hints should help once you reach your desired weight, so you can keep it off.
1. Luncheons with the girls: Don't eat more than one roll with your salad platter. Have the dressing served on the side, not on your salad, and leave most of your dessert that might come with the meal.
2. Homemade pastry: If you are a person who loves sweets and can't stop eating until the cake is devoured, stop baking and start buying. Buy everyone in your family one pastry for dessert. Try to limit the pastry you buy yourself to a fairly low calorie treat such as an eclair that tallies in at about 160 yummy calories.
3. Night eating: Stop picking and start 'planned eating'. Save about 200 calories from your daily intake and enjoy your nightly snack without guilt. It could be a grilled cheese sandwich made with fat free cheese and very little butter on lite bread. A large bowl of fruit or a smoothie, or even a dish of cereal would also be good choices.
Constant picking and overeating can add up to 1,000 extra calories a day and a bulky bottom!
