How To Say 'NO' To Fast Food?
Weight Management
Hi all,
Today, I am going to share two short sharing with you.
Fast Food Choices
A fast food joint isn't exactly a nutritional paradise, but sometimes you have absolutely no other choice. Try the following tips for making better choices.
Don't assume that a salad is the healthiest choice. At Taco Bell, a taco salad with ranch dressing, weighing in at 1,167 calories, has more calories than any other item on the menu. (61 percent of which come from fat.) Salad bars can be a danger zone, too. If you drown your lettuce in blue cheese dressing or pile on the marshmallow ambrosia and potato salad with olives, you may be even worse off than if you order a burger and fries.
When you order burgers and sandwiches, look for words like "Junior" and "small." Order your burger without the cheese, special sauce, and mayo; lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, ketchup, and pickles supply plenty of flavor. And avoid items with the words "double" or "super" in the description. If you can't resist those two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame-seed bun, at least try to balance out the damage with exercise.
Learn To Say "No"!
The next time you are faced with a trigger food and find yourself feeling sorry for yourself, stop! Don't exhaust yourself by fighting imaginary enemies. Pull yourself together and make your choice. Decide whether you are going to walk away or exercise your option to eat that food - with full knowledge that if you eat it you'll have to wear it.
Whatever your choice, take responsibility for it and don't blame the diet, or the food, or the argument you had twenty minutes before. Don't complain about your weight and bore everyone with talk of how you're going to go on a diet.
Being thin is not a birthright. Neither is being able to have anything you want anytime you want. If you want to be thin, you must occasionally say no. And if you are going to say no you have to do it of your own free will. Such self-chosen avoidance isn't deprivation, it's liberation. And with each "No, thank you" you will gain a little more control, self-reliance, and self-esteem.
Ok, that's all for today folks, till we 'eat' again, watch what you put in your mouth.
Cheers.
