Control Your Eating This Easter! Party Survival Tips
Easter is a celebration of a new beginning. Jesus died on Good Friday and rose from the grave on Easter Sunday to give new life to everyone who chooses to believe in him!
Use Easter as a springboard for a new beginning to your weight loss plan. On Easter, when you get together with friends and family, focus on socializing, not on the food. Just because everyone around you is wildly indulging, that does not mean you have to. When they gain weight it will be their problem, not yours!
Here is an easy way to NOT feel deprived when you do not pig out. Look at the waist sizes of all the people who are indulging. Are they fit, trim, and healthy looking? Or, do their seams look like they are ready to split?
If you want to become fit, trim, and healthy looking, you cannot blow your diet every time there is a get together. In our country, there will always be an excuse to overeat. Do not do it!
Your body registers every calorie, even on your wedding day.
Here are 7 easy-to-remember tips that you can apply at social events.
1) Eat something light before you arrive.
2) Go to the party with the intention of socializing, not indulging.
3) Drink water with a twist of lemon or lime.
4) Stay away from the food table.
5) Allow yourself one low calorie appetizer.
6) Eat a small meal, around 500 calories.
7) Focus on your desire to get in great shape.
Follow these tips and you will wake up Monday morning feeling awesome! Fitness is a day by day decision. You need to be aware of everything you eat, every day. Take a look at my picture on the top left of this website. That is a result of being aware of what I eat and drink. I am 42 years old with 2 kids. No lipo or gastric bypass, just basic fitness knowledge. I know what works. Learn from someone who lives the fitness lifestyle.
If I showed up at your Easter celebration, you would not see me eating those fattening, empty calorie foods or desserts. If you don not eat it, you don’t have to wear it on your hips and thighs.
