Why I gain weight….

MY TOP 11 REASONS & HABITS I GAIN WEIGHT

As a gen x yo yo dieter, these are many of the reasons why my weight management journey continues to challenge me. 

1. TOO LATE: Eating big meals too late. 
2. ON THE GO TRAP: Eating convenient, unhealthy food on the go. 
3. SPEED: Eating too fast without thought.  
4. ZONING OUT: Eating on automatic pilot because it’s time to eat not because I am actually hungry. 
5. INACCURATE TALLY: Under estimating food intake.  
6. SNACK ATTACK: Eating snacks that are too high in calories. 
7. AGE: My metabolism continues to slow as I age. 
8. NUMBING OUT: Avoiding my tough feelings with comfort food. 
9. UNINTUITIVE: Ignoring my authentic hunger signals. 
10. ANXIETY MENU:  Preemptively eating out of food scarcity anxiety. 
11. DRIVE BY COMMENTS:  Allowing random comments from others to affect my resolve and confidence. 

REASONS TO CONTINUE THE GOOD FIGHT: bloodwork, energy levels, apnea, chairs & stairs, and quality of life.
