Many women want to be slim. Maybe you’re one of them. Perhaps you’re getting married soon and you want to fit into your wedding gown comfortably. Or perhaps you simply want to look (and feel) great in a swimsuit or bikini.Assessing your current eating habits.
Keep a record of your eating habits for a week. The record should contain the following information:
- What you are eating
- How much you’re eating
- When you eat (note the times) – you want to know how far apart your meals and snacks are.
- How many glasses of water you drink each day
- How you feel after eating – pleasantly satisfied or bloated and stuffed.
When you find out your current eating habits, you’ll need to determine which habits are sabotaging your efforts to lose weight. Those are the ones you want to change. More on that later.
Taking Action
To form healthy eating habits, start with small changes.
Don’t make too many changes at once. Set yourself main targets, such as ‘I will drink 8 glasses of water each day’, then set smaller targets to help you reach each main target.
Using the example above, a small target could be ‘I will drink an extra glass of water after each meal’. When you break down your targets, they don’t seem so daunting. They seem easily achievable, so you feel encouraged to stick to them.
