I really like your blog, I just found you on blog catalog. Desk eating is the bane of my life, I usually end up skipping meals rather than eating at my desk because I get busy at work and forget. Prevention magazine talked about desk dining recently, they posted an article on their blog (http://buzz.prevention.com/smart-dining-al-desko/ ) – it was eye-opening because apparently 74% of workers are desk-eaters. Why can they figure it out by I can’t? At least Prevention gave some suggestions for what are great at-desk meals for breakfast, snacks, and lunch.

Eating Healthy is hard, but there are ways to learn how to control your eating habits. Part of it is having positive influences around encouraging you to eat healthy. Other ways to control how much you eat is eating a diet high in fiber, keeping busy, planning ahead, drinking a lot of water, not eating while doing other activities, staying away from foods high in sugar and eating balanced meals. It takes some time to develop these habits. Also stress and other habits can trigger eating too much food and eating unhealthy foods. Northwest Influence, http://www.northwestinfluence.com, focuses on being a positive, healthy influence for women and children. Many of us know what we need to do, we just need someone to guide us.

This is such a good question. You sound like you have a good grip on what you need to do. I am doing the same thing. I think about my carbs, fats, and protein sources and go from there. One thing that can help you is just standing in the store and being in awe of the choices. EVERYONE, don’t forget that. It is truly amazing what you can do when you just refocus on something much deeper. That is how I get back on track. Thanks.

[...] Sue asked last week, “How difficult is eating healthy for an individual? Exercise is not as difficult, it’s just being motivated enough to do it. In my honest opinion, I think eating healthy is really difficult because a lot of us are busy people, and eating the right foods are not as convenient as eating the foods that are readily available. Also, if there are healthy foods readily available, it’s hard to come by and costs a lot more.” [...]

I see that the results are leaning towards most folks having a difficult time with the healthy eating part of fitness. It takes 21 days for your body to break an eating addiction. Once you can get over that hurdle it gets much easier. Eating healthy is much easier for me than working out. I have to get off this computer and go for a walk one day or something, at the computer I can still munch on celery sticks and carrots.
