From the UCSF Medical Center: Weight management involves adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes a knowledge of nutrition and exercise, a positive attitude and the right kind of motivation. Internal motives such as better health, increased energy, self-esteem and personal control increase your chances of lifelong weight management success. Remember to have realistic goals and think long-term success. Believe in yourself and you can do it. The following information will give you ideas to help you meet your goals. CONTROL YOUR WORK ENVIRONMENT *Do not eat at your desk or keep tempting snacks at your desk. *If you get hungry between meals, plan healthy snacks and bring them with you to work. *During your breaks, go for a walk instead of eating. *If you work around food, plan in advance the one item you will eat at mealtime. *Make it inconvenient to nibble on food by chewing gum, sugarless candy or drinking water or another low-calorie beverage. *Do not work through meals. Skipping meals slows down metabolism and may result in overeating at the next meal. *If food is available for special occasions, either pick the healthiest item, or nibble on low-fat snacks brought from home. Dont have anything offered? Choose one option and have a small amount, or have only a beverage. ucsfhealth.org/education/behavior_modification_ideas_for_weight_management/
