Camille Durante's Tips ✔️

DO YOU SELF SABOTAGE LIKE MANY OF US?

3/11/2019

If you are like many of my clients, trying to implement a healthier lifestyle, you have probably experienced some progress and some setbacks.  Did you know setbacks are a normal part of weight loss and so is self sabotage. Recognizing, accepting and learning from it when it happens is super important for long term success.

Negative thoughts are a way of self sabotaging your weight loss efforts?  Negative self talk can lead to emotional eating. This negative rhetoric can cause stress, depression and other health issues and can drive you to overeat as a way of comforting and calming.  
What's more, the physical stress created by negative thoughts can increase cortisol levels that make weight loss difficult, if not impossible.    

What can you do to stop negative thoughts? Writing your thoughts can help.  

For example, let's say you eat a cookie after promising yourself you wouldn't.  Thoughts of failure create negative feelings that could lead you to continue  making unhealthy choices like eating a whole pizza for lunch.  Before you give up and choose to eat that pizza, You could write this down: "I ate a cookie today, but that doesn't wipe out all the healthy eating and exercise I've done this week. I'm going to get a bottle of water and go enjoy a walk with my favorite podcast."

Do you see how this can help? And with practice you could stop the negative thinking that can hold you back from reaching your weight loss goals.  

​Do you have a strategy that has worked for you?  I'd love to hear it.  Post below.  You never know who you may help.

Secrets to avoid takeout!

9/25/2018

1 Comment

 
Do you find yourself ordering takeout more than you'd like?  Well, you aren't alone.  With the hectic schedule many of us have between work, kids activities, household chores and family commitments many of us are exhausted at the end of the day only to be faced with another chore....preparing and cooking dinner!  

It's sooo much easier to pick up takeout!  After all you can justify it as a treat.   YOU deserve it because you are working so hard and juggling so much.  Right? Wrong!!  A couple of takeouts a week  becomes more of a habit than a treat!  Not only is it costly but it is downright UNHEALTHY and will not get you to your health and fitness goals.  So why do some people choose that option while others don't?

These are some strategies our clients use to keep them from getting takeout and eating healthier.
  • Planning.Like the saying goes.."If you don't have a plan you can plan to fail".  Take some time to sit and look at your weekly schedule.  When will you have time for grocery shopping and meal prepping. Which nights are more hectic than others and plan simple easy meals or have leftovers.  
  • Schedule it!  I block out time on my weekly schedule for grocery shopping and meal prepping. And I usually dedicate 1 night a week, to trying a new recipe so my family doesn't get bored.  
  • Stocking Your Kitchen With Healthy FoodsI I always buy certain staple foods that I can create fast easy meals and snacks so when I am tired it doesn't take much time and effort. Check out this list 20 Foods You should always Have In Your KItchen.  
  • Double Up On Recipes!  It takes little to no effort to double a recipe and have leftovers, but it can make all the difference between eating healthy or opting for takeout when you are tired and hungry.  
  • Use an Instant Pot!  With this small kitchen appliance you can literally throw all the ingredients in and end up with a perfect meal! 
Remember: "You can't control everything in your life but you can control what you put in your mouth!"
