With Thanksgiving behind us and the next holiday season coming up, many of us would like to avoid the extra pounds of holiday feasts! Psychcentral.com <\/a>provided \u201c5 Simple Steps to Avoid Overeating this Holiday Season.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Acknowledging that most of us ignore our willpower over the holiday season, they created simple steps to help us make better choices with our food this holiday season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These steps include:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0 \u201cLook at the food that is tempting you.\u201d The author stated that looking at the food and recognizing that eating it is our choice is step number 1.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 \u201cImagine eating it.\u201d He said that it\u2019s okay to let your mouth water as you imagine eating and tasting the food, but make sure you keep going down these steps!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cNow, imagine the food going down your throat and into your gut, where it will sit for the next several hours.\u201d That thought might ruin the mouth watering! The author says to think about how your energy level will be and what your stomach will feel like after eating the food.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cAsk yourself the question, \u201cDo I want to feel how this food will make me feel?\u201d Many of us struggle with mindless eating. We eat without thinking, which allows us to eat foods we wouldn\u2019t normally eat and eat more than we would like to.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0 \u201cMake a choice.\u201d If the answer to question 4 is \u201cYes\u201d then go ahead! If the answer to question 4 is \u201cNo\u201d it\u2019s time to walk away.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The author stated that the purpose of this activity is to anticipate the feelings before you even eat the food. He wants us to think with our whole body (mind, stomach, taste buds) rather than just our taste buds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He also highlighted that \u201cself-sabotage\u201d can be an issue for people and recommended this video <\/a>to understanding self-sabotage and helping stop it!<\/p>\n
