Getting the balance right
With WW, you'll eat what you love, giving you ultimate flexibility to fit the programme into your life.
If you often overdo it when it comes to a favourite food, you might think you should just cut it out of your diet altogether. But by doing that, you might end up craving that food even more. Also, without a plan to manage it when you do come across it, you might end up eating more of it than usual, and end up feeling frustrated or guilty. Instead, plan mindfully for a food you love. That way you won’t feel deprived, you’ll have a balanced approach to the food, and you’ll truly savour it. Each time you enjoy it without overdoing it, you’ll boost your confidence.
Try these steps to fitting in the foods you love:
Choose a food you love but feel you should avoid.
Decide how much you want to eat and how to control that portion (single-serving packs could be helpful)
Calculate the food’s Points® value using the WW app.
Choose when and where to eat it (one biscuit in a cafe could be a better choice than buying a whole pack and trying portion control at home).
Enjoy it with others to help quieten the self-criticism about what you ‘should’ eat.
