Quote: “Some people have a foolish way of not caring or pretending they don’t care what they eat. For my part, I take care of my belly very carefully and very carefully, because I believe that if you don’t care, your belly doesn’t care.” nothing else will matter.” By: Samuel Johnson

General description:

Below are interesting snippets of what you are about to read. It’s kind of a quick overview or backdrop. In summary, these are the important signs to look out for:

• “It’s all about me”

• “Snack Tube Snacker”

• “Bag of goodies”

• “Go to eat”

• “I did not authorize this”

Are you curious to know more? I hope so. Let’s continue! Good?

Type No. 1 Saboteur, The “It’s All About Me” Saboteur.

You can probably see the point of this one right away. This happens when your husband and her children reject your healthy, low-fat meals and expect you to prepare separate “non-diet” meals for them. For starters, she knows that as a wife and mother, she is not obligated to always take care of others. Although she has duties, she also has rights, including the right to take good care of herself.

Following!

saboteur type n. #2, the “Boob-Tube Snacker” saboteur.

Paraphrasing this saboteur type, it is normal that when every night, your husband sits in front of the television devouring sandwiches. It is very common and very difficult to stop. Maybe your chewing has been a couple activity. Now only he is allowed to have snacks, but you are so tempted. Try inviting your husband to join you for an alternative evening activity. If she can’t be entertained by her TV eating session, leave it at that. It’s important to recognize that he’s making his choice and you’re making yours, and that’s okay.

Let’s give saboteur guy number three a loud shout! Must?

Type No. 3 Saboteur, The “Bag of Goodies” saboteur.

Let me reaffirm once more. Imagine this situation. Your husband and kids bring home fattening treats. Your family may see you struggling to lose weight and think they are making you feel better by offering you sweet temptations. They want to rescue you. Make it clear to everyone that you don’t want food that could wreak havoc on your weight loss goals. In some cases, words alone may not be enough.

By the way, are you still with me? If ‘Yes’, let’s continue! Why wait?

Type No. 4 Saboteur, The “Out to Lunch” saboteur.

Yes, you have read the above on the right! Imagine this. Your family complains that you don’t go with them to fast food joints or your favorite restaurants. This problem has to be solved together. In a joint therapy session, the woman must tell her husband how important it is for her to avoid high-fat fast food. The husband will eventually reveal that his real complaint was that he did not want to lose weight or suffer deprivation. You both need to agree that he could still go to fast food restaurants, but he would have to do it without you.

This last type of spoiler will knock the sock off your feet. Or a woman her sock too!

Type No. 5 Saboteur, The “I Didn’t Authorize This” Saboteur.

Correct me if I’m wrong! Sometimes your family acts confused when you head out the door to exercise. The problem may simply be one of programming. Her husband says he’s fine with her exercise program and then balks when he realizes he’s in conflict with his poker night and you won’t be available to babysit. Solution? Schedule your exercise session. Sit down with the whole family, calendar in hand, and negotiate days and details.

Summary:

This little report on the five danger signs to help spot the weight-loss saboteurs in your home can be summed up in a few words. Below are the key points. First of all, “it’s about me.” Second, is the “boob tube snacker”. Third, is the “goodie bag”. Fourth, the famous “out to lunch”. And finally, “I did not authorize this.” Sound easy to remember and practice? Bet!
