We’ve all been there: hungry, in a hurry, and maybe feeling a tad bit lazy. So we grab box of ________, reach in and grab a handful… then maybe a second… and a third. This creates several problems:

1) When you are eating directly out of some kind of container, the chances are pretty high that you’re not paying any attention to your serving size. Based on serving sizes of factory foods (i.e., processed foods that come in such containers), my guess is you had 4-6 servings of said ________.

2) Secondly, you’re reinforcing a habit of being unintentional with your food, which will push you in the opposite direction of your fitness goals.

3) Seeing the amount of food you are planning to eat BEFORE you eat it makes a psychological impact on the total amount you are going to eat. Don’t believe me? The next time you go to a buffet, go ahead and get all three plates of food you were planning on eating and sit them down and look at them before you start eating. My guess is you won’t want to eat that much when you see that it’s really way too much. But eating straight out of a package only lets you see the next bite.

So get in the habit of portioning your food out of the container and paying attention to the serving size. No more grabbing a spoon and a pint of ice cream or sitting down to watch the game with an open bag of chips. Even if you plan on eating the entire bag, get in the habit of dumping them out first. Over time you’ll learn to slow down, be intentional, and actually enjoy the flavor of the food rather than the sheer quantity of it.

After having my son, I tried for years to lose weight, but with little success. Jennie offered positive support and accountability. She has helped provide meal ideas and workout program schedules always with my goals for my nutrition in mind. She has been such an encourager and great support. Jennie was never pushy or shaming. I can always count on her to check in on me and to show grace when needed. I really appreciate all the help she has provided the last two years and look forward to her support and encouragement as I continue down a healthier path.
