Oh No EEEEK Help!!

Since I came in, I have to leave a tip or I am in bigggg trouble. So here it is.

Go ahead and eat what you are craving. OK, sounds wrong at first glance but hear me out. I learned this in Weight Watchers. If you are really craving something you have a couple of choices. Let's say for example you are really craving a hot fudge sundae.

1) You can try to ignore it and have something in it's place like rice cakes. Right, that won't take care of your craving so now you have eaten something else and still have the craving. So maybe you eat a fat free pudding, and that is good, but still doesn't satisfy the craving. How about some pretzels, still doesn’t work. When all is said and done, you have eaten all the substitute foods and still eat the "forbidden" food. Or, even if you don't eat the forbidden food you have probably had just as much fat and calories in the substitute foods and you still have the craving. This is the voice of experience, I have done it many times.

Or, you can just go ahead and have a little bit of hot fudge sundae and the craving is gone. Notice I said a little bit. Now you can't give in to all your cravings. You can tell the difference between a real craving and a "I just want it" thought. If you did it with all your cravings then I guess you would just get bigger and bigger until you blew up! OK, not that bad, but you get the picture.

Can I go home now?

..Your only hope is to pay your toll. You must give your best health or fitness tip. Should you refuse and try to escape you will be consumed by the killer rabbits at the ToT race, yep, they are straight from Monty Python's "Holly Grail". Be afraid!

Besides we all saw you come in here and everyone will know if you wuss out and run away. Now on with it give us a your best health or fitness trip. You may return to read others tips but you might be captured again........

I'm in here looking so now I know you can "see me" my tip is "fitness" for when I do not "feel" like putting in the time for whatever I have scheduled. Just start off with doing whatever you can. After starting I find often that I can complete the deed. Otherwise, at least I've done something. Even if I don't "want" to or "feel" like it I sure do feel better after I've finished.

One word.....fiber! Fiber is our friend! Increase your intake of fiber, and it keeps you fuller, longer!

Beth

My only caution would be to be careful with fiber intake before long workouts and distance events. I am not a distant expert (having yet to do any), but I could foresee the need for a stop, and it might not be pretty if being chased by sweepers. Then again, maybe it would help to quicken a person's pace. A veteran might be able to better advise.

(Dave, if that doesn't count as advice, my favorite color is blue .... no red ... ARRRRRRRRRRRH.)

No we want a real tip, SHOW US YOUR TIPS! Or you will be rabbitt food at the Tower of Terror forest.

Follow only if ye be a man of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knight, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth...

So there!

Okay, I came in looking for more tips and got caught reading .....

This is my favorite tip! I sorta learned it from "Finding Nemo"...sort of....

Food is fuel, not friends! -- Okay, that's not exactly what the sharks said...but kinda....The point is, food doesn't hug, it doesn't hold, it doesn't comfort, it is NOT a friend! Friends don't live in the refridgerator.

If my tip is a good one, can I give my pass to a friend??? They are transferrable, aren't they??
