Do you always have a craving for food?
Has it happened with you that you simply cannot resist yourself after
seeing a packet of chips or an ice cream container in your kitchen? Do
you like eating and you can eat all the time. If your answer to all the
questions is affirmative then there is a probability that you are
turning into a food addict. There is a fine line between and over-eater
and a food addict. People who overeat just eat too much while for the
persons who are addicts food becomes their priority. They can eat all
the time and eating also starts replacing all their other needs. Food
helps them relieve pressure, anger and a number of other feelings. Food
addiction can make you lazy and a couch potato. You can easily leave the
habit behind. You just need to realize it and accept the fact. Denial
can lead to frustration that adds to your habit. Here are ten tips that
can help you get off the food addiction train.
10. Mark the triggers
Once
you know that you are a food addict, you need to mark out the food items
you crave the most for. Some of us like to eat sweet things while some
prefer salty. But whatever it is, it will definitely be rich in
carbohydrates. One does not crave for fruits or fresh vegetables. As you
successfully jot down the list, stay away from such items as much as
you can.
9. Vulnerable times
After
marking the items that make you eat more than required, you also need to
identify the times when you have the urge to eat the most. Some of us
like to make our lunches lavish while some like to much during late
nights watching television.
8. Identify the reason
Relax
for a moment and then ask yourself why you feel the need to eat so much.
Do you feel lonely or depressed or you eat just out of boredom. Realize
the emotions because once you identify the reason, the battle is half
won.
7. Avoid even diet foods
If
you are trying to overcome your problem then diet cokes or low-cal food
is not a solution. The problem we are facing is eating itself and not
unhealthy eating.
6. Perfection
Do not always
strive for perfection. no one can adhere to their diet charts strictly
no matter what. So instead treat yourself with a small piece of
chocolate or something that makes you happy after some time.
5. Assertion
Once you have
decided to solve your problem do not let anything come into your way. If
your friends are going out for eating, be confident and tell them how
you are feel and what you are facing.
4. Move on
If you have eaten
too much on one day, there is no need to starve yourself on the next.
Whatever done, cannot be undone. Instead take that as a lesson and move
on.
3. Healthy snacks
If you know you might feel hungry later, you can carry some healthy snacks including fresh vegetables and fruits along with you.
2. Do not feel guilty
If you
fail on one point or the other in following you diet chart, there is no
need to feel guilty about it. Instead it can make the situation worse
and you can eat all the more to combat the emotions.
1. Keep eating
You may be
confused but food addicts either over eat or do not eat all. This does
not help. You should try and take a balanced diet each day. Include only
healthy items in your diet plan.
