Busy life? No time to diet?

Do you have a lot on your mind? Do you lead a busy life? Do you want to diet but your motivation gets side-tracked by the craziness in your life?
You're not alone! And the challenge is very real.

In the book, How We Decide by Jonah Lehrer (How We Decide), we learn of an interesting experiment: 

A group of people were given five numbers or two numbers to memorize, walk down a hall, and report the numbers. On the way down the hall, the subjects were offered a piece of chocolate cake. Guess who succumbed to temptation more often? The folks who had to memorize the string of five numbers! 

The researchers concluded that when your brain is busy with something on its mind, it has less ability to deal with self-control. Yikes!

We are all busy. Nobody's life is a calm ride. So, what do you do?

Hold that thought for a minute and let me introduce one more question I always get from Weight Watchers members: "Why does it take so long to lose weight?"

Yes, it takes a long time to lose weight. You know most of the reasons already: on Weight Watchers, your caloric needs are only cut a little bit, so you get enough nutrition but you still lose. And because most people cheat a little here and there and have a few bad days (!), it takes a long time. BUT, there is a plus from the long journey- you experiment, test and embrace a NEW WAY of EATING. 

Bringing both of these ideas together, you benefit by developing a new way of eating that you really enjoy. This change becomes HABIT. Weight Watchers gives you the framework and the tools to create this new lifestyle, enabling you to keep to it- even when you have a busy life and a lot on your mind. Less willpower needed! Hmmm....sounds like a winning plan to me! Go, Weight Watchers!
