Step 30

Step 30 …. Hanging out!
I know this next step is not real realistic but if you can find someone then maybe it will give you the courage when you’re in a different situation.
If you can, try to be with people who have the same eating habits as you do. They can be so uplifting and give you all kinds of tips on food. They can also help you develop a pattern of good eating habits. A role model!
Being around these people will help reduce temptations and give you a feeling that you are not so deprived. You will feel you are not alone in this journey. Look at what you are giving up! Those artery clogging foods!
Ask others for support. Read step 2 and 23. When someone gives you support it serves as reinforcement. It will also help you to focus and reinforce your mind set! Read step 12.
I know this will help you in making the right choices in the future.
Remember you are not deprived! There are so many delicious low fat low calorie foods. Lots of recipes that makes your tummy growl! Just remember your portion control. Read step 5.
You can do this! I have lots of support! My Weight Watchers group is great! I have friends at church who make low fat and low calorie dishes for me at our get togethers. They make a point to tell me everything they put in the recipe. How supportive is that?! I think maybe I am rubbing off on them. I was 305 pounds when I started and they see how much I have changed! There is defiantly a newer attitude at my church. I think they may be thinking twice before they devour that donut now!
Again, team up with that healthy eating person. You can have a wonderful journey together!
Keep on keeping on……making better choices for a healthier you!
