Hey how come the weekend went so fast and it's Monday already?! How's being back at your desk going for you this morning?
If you feel like there are never enough hours in the day and you're struggling to eat healthfully and achieve that oh-so hard to come by me-time, then read on...
So what do you grab when the going gets tough, there's not a second to spare and a quick-fix is the only answer? Coffee? Sugar-filled muffins and croissants? 'Healthy' granola bars? Bread? Chocolate? Cake? Chips? Pizza? Alcohol? What's does the trick for you?
...whatever it is, it's a way of self-medicating, a crutch, self sabotage, something to get us through ...whatever we want to call it - the likely result is unstable blood sugar levels which in turn lead to mood swings, low energy levels, weight gain... basically a vicious cycle that can lead to a whole host of health conditions including obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, ibs, reflux, eczema, anxiety and depression ...the list is endless!
Here are three strategies that are sure to help:
How much do you want to change? ...what affect is this having on your quality of life. What are you prepared to do? It's unlikely that you'll nail it until you're clear on this.
Make a decision to change and take action... what's the one thing that'll make a difference that you could start right now?
Next up? Where are your weak spots? ...Be honest. Figure them out and decide how you're going to tackle them before they sneak up on you. That way you'll have plan b all figured out and are less likely to come off track.
