Binge Eating Help

Take stock of your eating habits. Where do you most often go wrong? Is your nemesis the fast food burger and greasy fries? Are you the one who wolfs down a bag of cookies when you feel stressed? Tackle the worst offenders first. Cutting out fast-food calories can easily result in a loss of a few pounds each month. The cookies are a no-brainer. Go for lean meats, fruits, veggies and low-calorie alternatives to fatty foods. Substituting juice for soda is a boon to any weight control program.

The key factors in any weight control regime are moderation, consistency and a positive attitude. Weigh yourself once a week and log your weight on a calendar. Track your menus. At the end of one month, if you've lost 7 pounds, you've succeeded. Keep on truckin'. If not, by how much did you miss your goal? Look at your menus for that month. Cut back on portion sizes.

Daily exercise is essential to reaching your goal. Exercise burns calories, so choose your activities accordingly.

Weight control is entirely in your hands. Follow a sensible approach that works for you and you'll soon be looking good!
