BYO fresh vegetables...Mom love to have our favorites waiting for us when we arrive home. Usually that means piles of cookies, cakes, her mom's special vanilla fudge, and no vegetables--unless you count sweet potatoes with marshmallows. Why not bring your own healthy foods. It isn't easy, but by having a plan and following through with it, you can stay securely in the present and avoid sliding into old patterns and old ways of eating.
Learn to recognize hunger cues--an empty feeling or rumbling in your stomach. As you become more aware of what your body is telling you, you'll be better able to eat only when you're hungry and stop when you've had enough. Eating then becomes a physical activity, not an emotional one.
Sample only the special stuff - There's a big difference between eating homemade rugalach made by your office mate's Great-Grandmother Sadie and a box of store-bought Santa cookies with sprinkles. Eat what will give you the most satisfaction.
