Life is a balancing act...
This is sort of a continuation of the last post regarding slippery places. I realize that lots of those so called “slippery places” are somewhat unavoidable. In those cases you need to bite the bullet and really employ your will power to keep your diet and your life clean.
Let’s face it – without a balance to your life it would be pretty empty. Visiting friends and relatives and going to those special occasions – weddings, bar mitzvahs, birthdays, Thanksgiving dinners, etc, etc – are the things that make life worth while (at least in my book)
The trick, if there is one, is portion control. Do have a piece of wedding cake. If there’s a small one take that. If not, just ask, and they can cut you a small piece. Don’t take that large piece, it’s too easy to continue to pick at it until it’s all gone.
Life is about the fun, not about denial. Enjoy yourself and if you do over-indulge, just spend a little more time at the gym the next week or two. Having a day when you eat a bit more than usual can also help out your weight loss. Check out my post on cycling your eating.
