It is impossible to eradicate habits that have been instilled since childhood. The grandmothers fed us porridge with butter and pies. In addition, daily stress is driven to the refrigerator. But there are ways to take your mind off the thought of food.
Instructions
Step 1
Find a hobby. It can be chatting on the Internet or reading an interesting book. Reading a fascinating novel, you can mentally be carried away into the distant times of knights and kings, beautiful ladies and beautiful relationships. It is unlikely that you want to give up an exciting reading for a plate of borscht. It can also be patchwork or beading. These are the activities that our great-grandmothers did. And then, in addition to being satisfied with yourself and your willpower, it will be very pleasant to show off your needlework.
Step 2
Spend more time with your children and loved ones. You can invite your grandmother for a walk in the park, take your children with you and remember the fun moments together. Parents will be immensely grateful for these happy moments spent together. And you can easily skip one of the meals this way.
Step 3
Try not to worry about every little thing. It is worth relaxing and taking time for yourself. To do this, turn off the phones, turn on pleasant music and an aroma lamp with relaxing lavender or sandalwood oil. It will be helpful to take a soothing bath with herbal decoctions or essential oils. Remember to take a relaxing bath for no more than 20 minutes. Thoughts about food will go away for sure. Just do not forget to consult with a specialist about the effect of oils, otherwise, using all oils indiscriminately, you may get the opposite effect. Thus, orange oil and bergamot oil increase appetite.
Step 4
Engage in social activities. Help the animal shelter if you have affection for our smaller brothers. This activity will definitely not allow you to sit still or eat an extra pie. It's nice to give warmth and affection to those who need it most of all. During such activities, a sense of pride in their actions rises, while thoughts about food fade into the background.
Step 5
Introduce family and friends to the activities you love. You can sign up with your friends for sports dancing or yoga. You can jointly comprehend the basics of belly dancing, this will perfectly distract you from thoughts of rich buns and fatty dumplings. In addition, by doing such dances, you can lose a few extra pounds. But before you start actively practicing, do not forget to consult your doctor if there are any contraindications.
