✨ THIS is why I bang on about PLANNING & PREPPING! ✨
I’m off to group this morning and I’m taking Arthur and Lillie-Paige with me. Once group is finished, I’m taking Lillie-Paige into town to get her school shoes. 👟
Now I already KNOW that by the time group finishes at just gone 11am, I’m going to be STARVING! 😂
And that’s exactly why I’ve prepped my food this morning.
I’ve made my fruit and yoghurt 🍓🥛
BUT I’ve also made myself a very sexy bacon, spinach & tomato wholemeal roll! 🥓🍅🥬
And there’s a reason for that…
Because when I get to town, I’m going to walk past the bakeries, the cafés, the food shops and all those lovely delicious smells that suddenly become 100 times more tempting when you’re hungry! 😂
I don’t want to be making food decisions when my tummy is rumbling and everything smells amazing.
So I’ve made the decision before I’m hungry.
I’ve got food with me.
I know what I’m eating.
I know it’s bang on plan.
And most importantly… I’m not going to be starving!
This is what I mean when I talk about planning and preparation being two of my biggest ingredients for losing weight and maintaining it.
It’s not about having amazing willpower 24/7.
It’s about knowing yourself.
Knowing when you’re likely to get hungry.
Knowing what situations might tempt you.
And putting a little bit of preparation in place BEFORE you get there.
Because honestly, it’s much easier to make a Food Optimising choice when you’re comfortably fed than when you’re absolutely ravenous and the smell of bacon rolls is following you around town! 😂
So have a think today…
Where are your tricky moments?
And what could you prepare in advance to make those moments just that little bit easier?
💚 Plan it. Prep it. Take the decision out of the moment.
Your future self will thank you for it! 🙌
