Believe it or not, you can lose weight while maintaining a healthy social life. In fact, practicing healthy choices while attending social functions will help transform your new habits into permanent lifestyle changes.⁠
⁠
Weekends are usually much less structured than weekdays and they tend to have more opportunities to socialize. Bottom-line, if you treat every weekend as an excuse to derail your healthy routine you will slow or completely halt your progress.⁠
⁠
Don’t be shy about your healthy efforts! Research shows that those who make a public commitment are more likely to follow through with their goals. By telling your friends/family that you are trying to improve your diet you will increase your social accountability to make smart food choices.⁠
⁠
Plan Ahead! View online menus and nutrition facts prior to dining out so that you can make an informed choice and plan your day accordingly. Bring a healthy dish to your next potluck to ensure a "safe" option is available. Enjoy your favorite foods wisely but do not go back for seconds. Furthermore, don't feel pressured to eat everything that is offered or eat to excess. This is not your last meal. When hosting an event, offer healthy meals/snacks rather than using it as an excuse to binge or indulge cravings. ⁠
⁠
Change your mindset! Let go of the all-or-nothing mentality and be realistic about your expectations. Will denying yourself dessert result in a closeted binge when you arrive home? Perhaps instead of forgoing the dessert buffet, plan to enjoy a slice of cake or share your partner’s dessert and make peace with your choice rather than allowing your indulgence to snowball. ⁠
⁠
Beware of booze! Many are fooled into disregarding the caloric burden of alcohol because of clever marketing. Just because a beverage is sugar-free doesn't mean that it is calorie-free! Furthermore, alcohol switches the brain into starvation mode, increasing hunger and appetite.
⁠
If you struggle to maintain your healthy habits when attending social functions, lean on Herbal One to help you overcome social sabotage.
