Am I Going to Get Fat If I Eat at Night?
Will you gain weight if you eat in the evening? It's all about BALANCE. When you eat more calories than your body uses, you will gain weight (it's called "positive energy balance." You may develop heartburn, you may not want to eat breakfast the next morning (which may lead you to overeat the rest of the day!), but unless you eat more calories than your body uses, your weight should not change.
Let Them (ME) Eat Cake
Tonight was one of those nights when I ate because it looked good, and I just felt like it. Afterwards, I realized I felt bad about myself, guilty about overeating and I wanted to start dieting-immediately. But then, I got hold of myself. This type of eating is not my usual pattern, and I need to allow myself these "let them eat cake" times. So tomorrow, I start again, with no guilt, no fear. Just moving forward.
Weighing the Scales of Justice
Don't be fooled by the numbers on your scale. There is a difference between weight loss and fat loss. Diets promising quick weight loss don't help change behaviors that led to becoming overweight. Learn to make slow, realistic changes so you can lose weight permanently. And don't listen to those ads-what they tell you. The fact they can tell such lies is-well, a crime.
Using Yoga To Find Peace With Food
Losing weight isn't always about eliminating foods, it's also about adding new behaviors. When my colleague included yoga in her life, she seemed to easily lose weight and feel peaceful, in control. When both were stopped, weight returned, control left. Start with the yoga, be at peace with your body, and you'll find that being at peace with food falls more easily into your life.
