Day 57 – People make me eat

Day 2From 100 MORE Days of Weight Loss, Day 57

Sometimes your efforts to connect with people don’t work.

Heading to the refrigerator might seem like a good solution, but food can’t make up for the absence of good companionship or meaningful conversation.

Here are my answers to the three questions at the end of the lesson.

1. Identify situations where you eat to please someone or because it’s expected.

Desserts with my family.
Gatherings with friends, potlucks

2. Write a statement that describes how you will avoid giving away your power by eating to please others.

I am in charge of my life and my health. It’s up to me to make good decisions about food.
I will remind myself about how my diabetic sister says so strong on her eating plan, including at family gatherings.

3. Create a plan for managing the situations where you eat to please someone. Put it in place today.

Lately, I eat ice cream at night because I think my husband wants some. But in the past, when I’ve told him that I prefer to not have ice cream for a while, he agrees and says he’s fine with that. I will tell him that today.

I did this, and he was pleased because he wants to stop eating ice cream so much too.
