FORCES ON MY SIDE
A plan, knowing what to do when
Realistically fit with my conflicting needs.
A sleep plan
A doable exercise plan
How to fill up sufficiently, be satisfied (high fiber,
good fats)
What to eat
Clearing the kitchen of all else
The shopping list
Set up a great reward
Set limited trial time
Set of good strategies - Water, breathing,
waiting out the urge to 12 minutes
Regularity in eating times
Not eating at least 3 hours before bed
Eat a hearty breakfast!
Only a very light supper or none at all
Eliminate blood sugar disturbers (sugars refined foods)
Stabilizers: Chromium, not being tired
A strong commitment and declaration
A strong why, that is clear
A monitoring system for feedback
A partnering system for encouragement, accountability
Do the opposite of stress (breaks, breathing)
Knowing the portions to eat, having them pre-prepared.
Make preparation quick and easy
The smoothie
Crockpot; pre-preparation of many meals
Substitutes that are good
Breathing deeply - believe it or not!
Small pieces of fruit instead of coffee
Have posted a checksheet and reference sheet for what to eat
Use a weight loss plan notebook, with dividers for each section for reference. (Example.)
Carry with you, at all times, a wirebound notebook to record everything you eat, thoughts, etc., (you can use pages for other things, too, as this is a top strategy for all highly productive people.
Have with you at all times a "spreadsheet" of instructions - and look at it when you need to know what to do - kind of a guideline sheet. (Until I set up a prototype, see my own Dashboard.)
