WHY?

This little word isn't just restricted to the curiosity associated with toddlers and young kidiwinks.

If you are trying to release a few extra pounds, it's a word you could be using every time you open the fridge or food cupboard door.

Put a little sign up on the door - stop - smile and ask yourself WHY are you reaching for food?

• Is it authentic hunger?

• Is it boredom?

• Is it reward?

• Is it to increase your energy/concentration?

WHY?

Sometimes just that simple act of stopping and asking this little three lettered word can prevent us 'mindless munching' - you become more mindful and in doing that you discover your inner motivation. From that springboard you can work on improving your eating habits.

Try it this week - with food, tobacco, wine .... anything that could be a MINDLESS HABIT in your life.
