Do you know that this little story is an usual thing nowadays? When you have this kind of schedule, it’s very hard to change it. You need support, advices, ideas. You need peace, time to have a discussion with yourself and some organizing tools.
The first thing that you need to do is to take some time in order to identify what issues you have when it comes to food. Some of them would be:
1. The need to eat bread very often; if you don’t have bread at your meal, you will be hungry shortly after you have finished eating
2. Eating every time you are stressed, tired, anxious
3. No time to cook for yourself or for your family; you also don’t have time to make some exercise
4. No family’s support
5. You don’t have time to eat during the day, so you are eating very much when the night comes
6. Feeling depressed – food is the only thing that makes you feel better
7. Craving sweets every day, or even worse, every hour
8. You don’t like water, but you drink a lot of soda
9. Fruits and vegetables are not a part of your daily meal plan
10. Not getting enough sleep so you eat more than it’s necessary to have energy
All these habits are part of our lifes. You don’t have to feel guilty for having them, you just have to be aware of them. When you want to change
your life starting with your diet, then this is the first thing to do. Awareness!
So sit down, take your agenda and a pen, and write down everything. Write down your bad eating habits. No one will check you or note you, so be honest with yourself! Try to think at how your day goes. Analyze your actions and wrie down the things that you feel that are not good for your body, nor for your health.
You are a grown up, you are able to do this! This first step will change your life! Even if you can’t start improve your eating habits in a near future, you’ll still be aware of them. With time, you will be more and more convinced that you have to change some of your habits. That will be the moment when you will act!
