Mindless eating won't help. You'll just be fat AND bored. Play with your kids, take a walk, do some stretches or deep breathing, chew gum, drink water--REMEMBER YOUR GOALS!! |
|  YES | Is it because you're bored? |
|  YES | DO YOU WANT TO EAT RIGHT NOW?? |
|  YES | |  NO | You just ate something. You are not truly hungry. Eating now will make you feel bloated and cause you to gain weight. |
|
 | NO | NO |  | NO |  | YES |  |  |
Well, is it because you're stressed, sad, angry, frustrated, irritated, overwhelmed, etc.?? |
| 
| Well, until you know WHY you want to eat, you should just WAIT. The food isn't going anywhere... |
| 
| Well, then why are you looking at this chart?! Go do something else! :) |
| 
| If you eat, will you choose something healthy and filling? |
|  NO | Well, if you're eating a treat, is it worth the calories? Have you thought it through? |
|
YES |  |  |  |  | YES |  | YES | NO |
Eating will fix none of these problems. You will regret EVERY BITE. Do you know what to do now? |
| 
| | 
| Go ahead and eat. Eat slowly, really enjoy your food--be grateful for it. Then go do something productive. |
| 
| Go ahead and have a treat, then, Eat it slowly, and enjoy it guilt-free! :) |
| 
| I think you know what you should do. Close the fridge door and walk away... |
|
YES |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Address your feelings. Write in a journal, go for a walk, pray, stretch, breeeeaathe, call a friend, look at MFP success stories. Be productive--clean, organize, paint your toenails--ANYTHING!! Eating will solve nothing. Food is for fuel and pleasure. It does NOT fix any emotional issues--in fact it makes them worse. STOP EATING YOUR FEELINGS! |
