My continued notes from my weight control class.
– Believing or knowing something leads to action.
– Exercise is not alone in losing weight but more what we eat.
– Close the gap between myths and what works for you.
– Understanding behavior and how change happens.
– We need to understand why we do the things we do.
– Habit is we’ve done it forever.
– YouTube: How habits work: how to reap habits from the power of habit by Charley ???
– Cure: that makes the behavior unfold automatically.
– a pattern of behaver that triggers a certain routine;
– One man at work at 3:30 has a routine. he will buy a cookie and talk to colleges. He altered his habit and just talked to friends without buying the cookie.
– Altered his behavior as it was not the cookie he sought but socializing.
– Book: the power of habit.
– Some will come home and eat or snack because its time from work. Eat an apple driving home.
– Some will clean or eat first to delay the task you don’t want to do.
– Eating mindlessly while reading a book.
– Some may eat to find the magical energy food to refresh their body.
– Some will set up a deadline to start getting ready for bed and establish a routine and maybe have it expand to the weekend,
– If there is a habit that you do already then add a routine to connect to that habit. Take out the trash go around the block. Maybe go up the steps to work.
– Some people know they will do something as a celebration and eat according to lead to the event and then enjoy the event.
– 2. our environment: Chicken wing study.
– Eat less: you have to see it before you eat it. Don’t eat with our eyes. Dish out what you want to eat.
– Brian wonsink: book [u]mindless eating[/u].
– Don’t have food out in the ditch. Put food out of sight.
– No longer have junk food out of choices.
– Want to eat, it often means you are thirsty
– Just pour a little powder in a drink to color the water.
