When we talked she told me of one of the visuals Julie told them to use. I have very faint recollection of visuals from her. So I decided to write about it and see what visuals she may have told your classes about and what ones you use.
Julie told them to make a fist. Your fist is the size of your stomach! Figures, the one part of me that has always been small is my hands. LOL!
Anyway, make a fist and then compare that fist to the food you are about to eat. If you are eating with people compare your fist with the amount of food they are eating.
Let me tell you, that visual is quite the reality check for me!!! WOW!!!! I used it last night at a restaurant and today for my first meal. I will say, at first when I was done with my meals, I thought, good grief I am still going to be hungry. But I waited, got away from the table, drank some more water and guess what - it was plenty of food.
So I am really hoping between much less fatty foods, and my fist visual, maybe a new size on the horizon!!! Only time, PATIENCE, and consistency and we will see!!
What visuals do any of you remember?
Do any of you use any visuals?
Thanks for the reminder! I struggle with limiting my portion sizes, and limiting the fat intake. I will try the fist reminder and workvon limitinfvthe fatty foods.
ReplyDeleteLinda - thanks for the reminder about portions and visuals. I'm right there with you - between cutting back on portions and fats, I expect to see more changes soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat reminder. I too forgotten about it. I will use it today. Thank you.
