Kids and Emotional Eating
ОглавлениеI really want what’s best for you and your kiddos. I hope these little tips will get you thinking about what you can do.
Try not to use food as a comfort with your kids. Instead of a lolly when they scrape their knee, how about a hug or kiss after the plaster? Perhaps suggest a trip to the book shop.
Dump the idea of ‘finish your food’. Don’t say things like ‘If you don’t finish your food, you can’t have dessert.’ Try to trust what they tell you about their bodies.
Don’t make food a focal point. Get your kids moving more by planning fun activities such as hikes, bike rides, or some other type of family adventure.
Slowly replace any fattening foods kept in the house with healthier alternatives.
Suggest a trip to the park after dinner instead of serving dessert.
For starters I urge everyone to join the Lunch Box Diet community (see page 224) at www.lunchboxdiet.co.uk – go and do it now. I will send you regular emails to keep you motivated and this is key to your success! I’m constantly coming up with new techniques, tips and tricks and I’ll share these with you. How about that for an added bonus?
Though looking good will be a big part of the end result of following this diet plan, what’s most important is how you will perceive yourself from the inside out once you begin the Lunch Box Diet. Eating healthily means feeling good. More energy, less illness, less chance of developing diseases related to obesity. You’ll be able to enjoy your life.
Whenever you’re feeling down, remember this word:
BELIEVE!
Believe in this diet. Believe in your efforts. Believe in me. Believe, above all, in you and your abilities!
We’ll get there! I promise!
Okay, enough pep talk. Can you feel the energy? If not, put the book down for a minute, get off your bum and jog around the couch ten times.
Ready? Let’s get to work. Turn the page.
