The Art of Cuisine

I am sorry, I haven't had time to blog about my Isagenix journey in the last couple of weeks. I am still on the program and going strong...

Yes, that is right. I am still at it. I even went on vacation and brought little Isagenix travel shake packets that were perfect to travel with. I have this Isagenix Shaker container that stirs/ whips up my shakes. It was perfect to bring. My girls and I went to Disneyland and I would have a shake every morning for breakfast and meal replacement bar for lunch. They have several places that have fruit cups, salads, and the hotel we stayed at The Camelot Inn had free breakfast that I used for snacks it was one less thing I had to worry about and my girls enjoyed getting to go and pick out whatever they wanted. The hotel had a lot of fresh fruit that I would get and bring back tomy room for snack time. I would get bananas, apples, and oranges. They also had a market at the hotel and I got nuts for a snack as well. The Isagenix snack were perfect for a sweet treat. This was perfect to do while on vacation and I saved so much money $$$ by doing this that I could get my kids some nice gifts and even have money left over. Boy is the food expensive at places like these. 

There was a few times so far that I was having a bad day and foundthat I would go for a bag of chips and I have had a one ice cream when I was onvacation but I still lost two inches and a total of 10 lbs. Most of the time Igrab for an IsaDelight Chocolate and I don't even want the ice creamanymore.  I only had a total of 15 to take off. That last five pounds isall I have and I am perfect in a bathing suit, just in time for summer. Woo Hoooo....

From being on Isagenix I don't need to do this often. I got off tracklast year and gained 15 extra pounds because of my long hours of working andnot getting enough sleep and exercise. Well, I am back on track.

Here is a Few Tips about Emotional Eating

People who are prone toemotional eating consume food to soothe unpleasant emotions, such as anger,anxiety or fear. Plus, chaotic emotions can bring about an almost irresistibleyearning for food.

Because food consumption is tied to emotions rather than fulfilling physical needs, overeating is common.

Medical experts, such as the Mayo Clinic, acknowledge that emotional eating canbe the most difficult component to control for those who want to lose weight. But,there are steps that can help control these difficult urges.

Discover your triggers by writing down what you eat and how you're feeling atthe time.

When you're upset, instead of eating take a walk, talk to a friend or dosomething else to comfort yourself.

Keep healthy snacks in your kitchen so when you reach for something, you'llfind fruit instead of cookies.

The Mayo Clinic also acknowledges that certain foods release a small amount of"mood-elevating" hormones. These foods can help satisfy the urge toeat uncontrollably. One of those foods is chocolate.

According to the Mayo Clinic, "For example, when you eat enticing foods, such as chocolate, your body releases trace amounts of mood- and satisfaction-elevating hormones... Related to this is the simple fact that the pleasure of eating off sets negative emotions."
