Ways to stay motivated
When you are dieting, trying to stay motivated can prove quite difficult. When you get in from work, the last thing you want to do is go to the gym for a grueling 2 hour workout, sitting on the sofa watching TV seems a lot more appealing.
There are a number of ways to help you stay motivated and will help you to avoid being tempted by high fat foods.
- If you are heading out to a party where you know there will be snacks galore, eat something before you go! A bowl of cereal with semi skimmed milk is a much better idea than a big bowl of nuts or crisps.
- Drink plenty of water. This should help fill your stomach and keep hunger locked up that little bit longer.
- Chewing sugar free gum will help stop you snacking. if your feeling tempted by that bar of chocolate, opt for the gum instead!
- Keep the fatty foods locked away in the cupboard. That gorgeous looking Dairy Milk is better out of site, out of mind!
