5 Simple Ways to
Reward Yourself... And Lose
WeightWe are a society who
eats, not only for nourishment, but for a
variety of emotional reasons. Some of those
emotions are sadness, fatigue, nervousness,
boredom or stress. Another reason we eat is
for the reward. Weve had a bad day and now
we deserve that ice cream, brownie, etc.
While the optimal solution would be to
retrain our minds to think of food as only
nourishment, it is not a practical one.
The following are simple steps, that
taken together or individually, will allow
us to indulge our emotions without adding
to our waistlines.
-
- Analyze your weakness and
control portions. Some of us favor
sweets, others comfort food and still
others are major meat eaters. Find your
preference and whatever it is, cut your
normal portion in half. Keep the number
of portions the same,one small bar of
candy instead of one large bar.
- Go out to indulge. Dont keep
snack food in the house. If you really
want that donut, ice cream, etc., go to
the store and buy one serving. This
helps to stop the reflexive hand to
mouth action of immediate
gratification. If you really want that
treat and are willing to stop what you
are doing to go and get it, then I say
"Go for it."
-
Have a hot drink with a
sweet. Snuggling up with a warm
cup of tea or decaf coffee is
relaxing itself. Have your sweet
with a warm drink and enjoy the
feeling of relaxation. This can
also be a help in controlling the
number of snacks eaten.

- Set a specific place and time
for rewards. Dont grab your snacks
on the run. Dont eat in front of the
TV. Do find a quiet place at a time of
day when you can savor your treat. If
you are going to choose those calories,
make it worthwhile.
- Tell yourself that you can have
it. If you focus on what you cannot
have, you are focused on what you
cannot have. This is
self-defeating.
There are times when we overindulge.
During the holidays, for example, we are
surrounded by a cornucopia of goodies
everywhere we turn. If you overindulge, you
are not alone. Move on. Stay guilt free.
Guilt only leads to such emotions as
sadness, self-loathing, anger, fatigue and
stress.
Now we are back where we began,
emotional eating. When you follow one or
more of these steps, keep in mind that a
reward is something that we give to
ourselves because we feel that we deserve
it or have earned it. It is not a
habit.
