"We all need a certain amount of sustenance to stay alive and healthy, but satisfying our nutritional needs isn't the only reason we eat. Our family dynamics, our cultural background, and our individual attitudes and tastes all influence how this situation develops. We could call the sum total of these expectations, habits, associations, and states of mind our 'relationship' with food. For many it's a healthy one but for some it's complex and problematic." explains Dr. Musante
If you've got complex food issues that are holding you back then the Structure House Weightloss Tips below can help you turn things around.
Accept Responsibility for Your Habits. Nobody is tying you down and force feeding you donuts, cakes, fries, and sodas. Your weight isn't the problem. Your weight is a result of your behavior so the first step is to accept that your behavior is the problem then figure out how to change it.
Discover Your Psychological Food DNA. Get to the bottom of your food triggers by asking tough questions about why, when, and what you eat. Do you eat when stressed, anxious, bored, depressed, around others? What types of food choices are you turning to when you eat for emotional reasons? When you begin to understand your behavior you're on your way says Dr. Musante and one of the best ways to do that is with a food diary.
Understand Your Food Environment & Change It. According to Dr. Musante "you can be in control of food or you can let food control you". Wouldn't you rather be the one in control? To do this you evaluate all the places where you shop, store, prepare, and eat food (home, car, work, restaurants, grocery store, gatherings, etc.). Then start incorporating powerful habit busters like eliminating snack foods, buying a healthy cookbook, avoiding snack aisles, writing grocery list after planning weekly meals.
