Hi All!
Thank you for checking in! I’m always so happy to read about everyone’s progress, or just to read about how your week has gone, progress or not. XO.
I’ve posted this thread before (
Compliance on a Healthy Diet) but I wanted to trot it back out again as Thanksgiving approaches for many of you.
We all know that successful weight loss in the context of the MWL plan means following the guidelines as closely as possible as often as we can. It’s all about
time and
consistent adherence. Jeff writes:
Know thyself.
As this study shows, for many of us, it is that occasional lapse on a "forbidden food" that is going to start the downward spiral.
Looking at the full study, it was forbidden foods, usually consumed at home, usually in the evening, usually on the weekend. So, to be successful, we have to keep our home and our environment a safe place and to avoid feeling deprived, which we can do by eating when we are hungry until we are comfortably full of the approved foods.
As the old saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind." For many of us it is also, "in the house, in the mouth."
In Health

Practice
lapse control! In a couple of weeks it will be Thanksgiving and you can be mentally ready by getting as far out of
The Pleasure Trap as possible. That way, you’re less like to lapse and more likely to enjoy that time focusing on friends/family and not the food. XO
