Eating Junk Food - Unhealthy Snacking

Lets face it, we are all human. Sometimes we get an urge to eat something that may not be healthy.

Ok, you get this idea to eat some junk food & you are thinking "yes, I'd really want to eat this". Then you imagine how satisfied you will be etc.. This is the physical part of your brain.

Then immediately you get some other conflicting thoughts - "If I do eat this junk food I'll feel guilty for the rest of myday & it will screw up my meal plan & I'll get out of tract.... & so on"

This create a friction amongst your thoughts. This leads to you burning up your most important energy - WILL POWER

Ok, how can we overcome this?

What you could do is to be prepared to face such situations. - Find yourself a 2-3 step process to implement when you come across situation like this.

You can find your own process, but just to give you an example -
Step 1 - Find some some really healthy food (eg;Protein Bars or Roasted Soy Nuts) that you enjoy & keep a stock at home, at your work, in your handbag, in your car... etc where you can reach for it easily where ever you are.

When you have the 'trigger feeling' - "I need to eat some junk food"

Step 2 - Straight away drink a glass or two of water. - Important do not wait to think!!
This would fill you up & water is a natural appetite suppressant.

If the trigger comes back,
Step 3 - Eat your healthy snack you already have.

You will need to do this process over & over & over again so that it becomes your habit.
Do not wait to think - "should I?" "shouldn't I?" ... etc.
Get into ACTION staight away!
