Honestly , part of me feels like talking about nutrition would be like preaching to the choir …
But I want to share few things I learned …
When I gained the 45 or so pounds in college I knew how I gained it … For lunch and dinner I ate at a dining hall that served food buffet style .
In four years of eating all I wanted to eat …
� Did I ever eat any vegetables ?... Nope . � Did I eat any fruit ?... Nope . � Did I look for healthy options ?... Nope .
Nutrition
So how did I gain so much weight in college ? Simple really …
� Going back for seconds , thirds , and sometimes four plates in one meal . � Making sure I got some kind of dessert after every meal . � And of course , not exercising at all .
During Step 3 of Setting Clear AND Specific Goals , you ’ re going to identify your obstacles . One of your obstacles will be nutrition … more specifically , what you place in your mouth on a regular basis .
For four years plus , I never watched what I ate . If it looked good , I ate it … Changing to eating less and eating healthy foods was an obstacle for me .
A personal example from my struggle …
I used to love those cheeseburgers from McDonalds . When I got a cheeseburger craving I would drive to a McDonalds , order about 3-4 cheeseburgers and of course a side of fries . I slowly eliminated this behavior by telling myself what a pain it is to drive all the way to a McDonalds for something I don ’ t need .
I also had a major sweet tooth … I would buy all kinds of sweets just to have around the house . That ’ s something I had to learn over time to stop . Took a while but it ’ s very unlikely for me to buy sweets for myself now .
