Contibuted by our friends at WebMD

Distraction:  Physical activity itself can take your mind off of your problems and either redirect it on the activity at hand or get you into a Zen-like state.  Exercise usually involves a change of scenery as well, either taking you to a gym, a park, or a sidewalk – all of which can be pleasant, and calming.

Lookin’ Good:  Exercise helps you lose weight, tone your body, and maintain a healthy glow and a smile.  You may feel a subtle but significant boost as your clothes look more flattering on, and you project an aura of increased confidence and strength.

Social Support:  Because exercise and physical activity can often involve others, you can enjoy a double dose of relief with the combined benefits of exercise and fun with friends.  Having others workout with you can make you feel good as well as help motivate you to push harder and get a better workout.

Increased Health:  Improving your overall health and longevity with exercise can strengthen your body physically inside and out, making your body less prone to cardiovascular diseases as well as increasing your body’s immune system.  Strengthening your immunity to colds, the flu, and other minor illnesses and the long run (by helping you stay healthier longer, and enjoy life more because of it).

Resilience to Change:  Those who get more exercise may become less affected by the challenges they face and more effective towards them.  So, in addition to all the other benefits, exercise may supply some immunity toward the future’s unknown ups and downs and aids in coping with current situations.

Exercise Endorphins:  Exercise can increase endorphins – your body’s “feel good” chemicals, giving your mood a natural boost.

TOP TEN ways to avoid gaining weight this holiday season

10- Out of sight, out of mind (stay away from the food and drink tables at holiday parties, keeping your eyes off the food and drinks makes it possible to resist them more easily)

9- Eat a healthy medium sized meal 20-30 mins before going to a holiday party (this will fill you up and make it easier to resist tempting foods)

8- Coach yourself in the mirror (tell yourself in the mirror how successful you are doing on your weight loss journey and always remember to tell yourself, I love you)

7- Surround yourself with friends and family who support you and your goals.

6- Food is not your enemy. (know deep down in your heart that food is not your enemy, you are just choosing to not participate in indulgence, you can have anything you want just know when too much is TOO MUCH!, if you can't breathe or you need to unbutton your pants, or you need to stay standing to not fall asleep... THAT IS TOO MUCH!)

5- Use smaller cocktail plates instead of dinner plates

4- Do not get seconds, thirds, and fourths

4- If you must have another plate; Wait at least 45 minutes between plates. This will help kick start your metabolism.

3- Always choose the dessert that has natural ingredients like fruit as its main source of sweetness, stay away from processed foods 

2- Drink plenty of water. have at least 8 oz with every meal and shoot for 16 oz if possible.  Also, if you know you are going to eat a little more drink about 20 oz before the meal.

1- Be very grateful for your food, family, and friends, they are a gift in your life and the more grateful you are for them and other things in your life, you will see miracles happen in your life... Like losing weight instead of gaining it during the holiday season.

 

Have a healthy and happy holiday season.

With love,

You Abuse Food

Comfort Food...Your Two-Sided Friend

With one holiday under your loosened belt, you're gearing up for many more celebrations...and piles of seasonal comfort food. If you don't mind, I'd like to be totally candid with you today.

Sure, I could write you a 'feel good' article about cutting back a few calories and exercising a few minutes each day, but I'd rather be perfectly frank (and truly helpful).

Here's the real deal: You abuse food.

That's right. You're overweight because you eat too much, and you eat too much because it brings immediate pleasure.

I am here to point out that this pleasure comes at high price...

The other side of comfort food: You've heard dishes being referred to as 'comfort food'—some restaurants even have an entire section of their menu designated as comfort food. But comfort food is more than just a hearty dish.

• It's those extra calories that you eat to feed an emotional need rather than a nutritional need.
• It's excessively big portions that leave you stuffed.
• It's high calorie snacks.
• It's sugary treats.
• It's fried, cheese smothered appetizers.
• It's whatever you indulge in with mindless munching.

Could you relate to any of the above? Most of us tend to gravitate toward a particular form of comfort food. For many women it's chocolate or other sugary treats. For men it often takes a saltier form.

Think of the last time you ate for pleasure rather than nourishment. Why'd you do it?

Out of Habit: Your body loves routine. If you always snack while watching television then you'd probably find it hard to relax without going through that munching motion. The good news is that once you break the cycle your body will quickly adapt to a healthier routine.

To Change Your Mood: Does the thought of a cupcake bring a smile to your lips? How about a large pizza to lift your mood? Pay attention to the emotions that trigger you to overeat—you may be surprised how often you use food to feel better.

Because Everyone's Doing It: Who can resist comfort food when it's offered among friends? Peer pressure doesn't just apply to teenagers—it's another reason to overeat. Remember that true friends will support your decision to refrain.

Can you remember how you felt after you last filled up on comfort food? If you're honest, you'll admit that the stuffed and bloated feeling was downright awful. So why do it?

Come on, where have your eating habits gotten you?

• Into clothes that are a few sizes larger.
• Drained and with less energy than ever before.
• Plagued with health concerns and prescriptions.
• Embarrassed and frustrated with your body.

Most people don't realize it, but the battle to overcome your eating habits is decided by a single body part—and it's not your mouth. (Your mouth is simply a puppet.)

It's your brain. Once you've made up your mind, for better or for worse, you can bet that your body will obey your decision to the letter. You've proven it time and time again.

So make the decision to give up your unhealthy dependence on comfort food.

There is no better time than now.

Making a change is hard—that's why I'm committed to being with you every step of the way. Call today to schedule a consultation.

You can end the abuse, once and for all.
