Balance is the Key to Life
The reason you chose Weight Watchers over a "diet" is because you know you can't "diet" forever.
Weight Watchers encourages learning to eat in balance. Eating in balance is finding your personal formula of healthy foods complemented with some fun food so you don't feel deprived. Here are some of the questions you may be pondering:
"How can I enjoy small treats and not go overboard?"
"How can I enjoy my food and stop at reasonable portions?"
"Can I live my life without any food being off limits?"
Each of these questions will be answered differently by all of us. To this day, after 16 consecutive years of being at goal, I still struggle with certain trigger foods. Sometimes I feel confident and "bring the enemy home." I almost ALWAYS regret it. Yet, I do have treats that I CAN handle and make me happy!
Finding your personal formula of balancing treats with healthy living is the goal for most of us. What will it take for you to do that?
Decide which foods cannot come into your kitchen at this time (and possibly forever).
Find delicious treats that give you a lift but allow you to stop at a reasonable portion.
Work hard to make your meals as filling and tasty as possible, but not SO incredible that you eat three portions!
Yes, it takes a while to create your recipe for success, but look at all our winners! Weight Watchers works if you HANG IN THERE!
Onwards and Upwards,
