Have you ever wondered what you're going to eat if the table's filled with yummy foods? And I mean bad yummy foods with the high sugar and fat badness. Egg tarts on the left, butter cream birthday cake in the middle, a jar of chocolate chip cookies on the right. And ice cream of several flavors in the fridge. Honestly, it's a hell of a temptation galore. And to have it in the morning when you've just woken up, feeling hungry after hours of fasting, is nothing short of a death sentence to your weight loss program. Not to mention the midnight snacking.
What to do then? We can't just toss them away. It will be a waste. My friend told me that it's alright to pamper yourself with yummy foods once in a while as long as it's in moderation. A matter of fact, we'll go on a binge if we deny ourselves the simple pleasure.
Me? I kind of treat myself every day because of my sweet-tooth. Small treats, as in one cookie OR one scoop of ice cream, once a day. It's enough to satisfy the urge to snack on sweets. Actually, sweets snacking is not of the healthy. Nutritionists around the world would have a field day with me and my toddler appetite. You know, because mature people only snack on healthy fruit and nuts? Couch potatoes, excluded. I do eat fruit. One per day. Well, you know what they say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
