Plan Ahead for Success

One thing that's helping me stay on track lately is planning ahead. I cleaned out the fridge and restocked it with healthy foods. I'm less tempted to stop for fast food on the way home from work if I know I have good things prepared at home. It's simple to make a salad or a stir-fry if all the vegetables are washed and ready to use. I'm finding I need to do food prep at least two days a week. It only takes about an hour or two to do and the reward is less temptation and easy to fix meals that I can put together in a half hour or less. The old Weight Watchers saying is true:

 "If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail." 

I'm amazed at how much better I feel being in control of what I eat again. I feel less bloated and my clothes don't feel as tight. I noticed positive changes on the second day back on track.

It's still hard not to run to food at times, but I keep reminding myself of how miserable I feel when I'm out of control and binge eating.  It's not worth it! Never give up. Take action, plan ahead, and you will succeed!
