Sick of overeating when you’re out?
You’ve heard about social smoking, but do you ‘eat socially’ as well? Sounds silly - especially because eating is a really social thing! - but if you find you always overeat when you’re in social scenarios, here are a few tips.
*Try to be consistent with what and how much you eat, whether you’re at home or hanging with friends.
*If you find it hard not to graze when food’s in front of you, and always end up overfull because of it, move away from the food once you’re satisfied and do something else (e.g. help with the dishes, or even go to the bathroom!) to mark the fact you’ve finished your meal in your head.
*No room for dessert, or didn’t get to try something you wanted? Be a little cheeky and ask if you can take some home to try later!
*Don’t be too hard on yourself! Think of food as a source of nourishment rather than simply something that’s going to make you either gain or lose weight, and you’ll be less likely to either deprive or overstuff yourself.
*Avoid an ‘I deserve!’ mentality. If your body’s telling you it’s gonna pop if you have another bowl of dessert, don’t keep pushing it - it deserves to be treated, but it also deserves to be looked after!
