It’s 5:30pm…you’re just getting in from work. You forgot to take out the salmon for the salad and you just remembered you don’t have any greens for your salad.  Everything else in the house that’s healthy is frozen solid and the closest thing to satisfying your hunger is that chocolate cake you said you wouldn’t have anymore of after Sunday and left over pizza.

What Do You Do?????

If you’re anything like me, you’re going to get something to eat to get that hunger off your back.  It’s not the most ideal thing to do but you ‘re not thinking of the most healthy, you just don’t want to be hungry anymore. It tends to happen to me all the time, especially last night, which delayed my work out this morning. It has alot of do with why my hunger has been out of wack and i”m still fighting to get it under control. Eating 6 small meals a day at a suitable time of day so that way I’m able to take on all that I have to do, including my workout. I find that when you’re not hungry, you don’t think or obsess about food; it’s when you’re hungry that you begin to go crazy.

So What Do You Do?

Plan Ahead

Planning your meals ahead of time can certainly help you keep what you eat under control. When you come home to thawed out salmon, salad fixings, fruits, veggies, and other healthy treats, not only will it satisfy your hunger, but it will ease your mind to know you’re sticking with your plan to get healthier. Often times when I eat unhealthy because I’m hungry and it’s whats closest, I feel bad because I feel as though I’ve taken a step backwards. So always put yourself in mental and physical position to move forward.
