IMPULSE eating

Have you ever been standing in line at Starbucks for a coffee and are faced with the question "Do you want a muffin with that ?". You may face this situation or different ones throughout the day and how you deal with these situations is a factor in your weight loss. If you constantly find yourself unable to say NO in these situations you need to find another route. If its you making coffee at home and bringing it with you to work instead of stopping at Starbucks. This will save you the impulse calories and save you some money too. If avoid these situations isn't an option for you I have another impulse stopper and you can do this anywhere. If you find yourself faced with an impulse decision take a step back and re-evaluate the situation. Ask yourself a few questions before you buy or eat that ... Are you hungry ? Would you feel guilty about it later ? Is this helping or hurting your goals ? Is there a healthier option? Take a few minutes to go over the scenario in your head, walk around the store and last but not least after you beat the urge you MUST pat yourself on the back and celebrate the victory. Stocking your bag or purse with some pre portioned healthy snacks will also help you fight the impulse.
