It's No Fun Without Food. Tips from the weight loss wizz!

It's amazing how many activities are paired with food — popcorn at the cinema, cocktails on date night, coffee and cake while reading the Sunday paper. Catching up on emails with a chocolate bar at work. The trouble is you combine a certain pastime over and over with eating, you eventually stop listening to hunger or fullness cues and just eat on autopilot whenever you engage in that activity. It becomes a classic Pavlovian response.

You need to change your mind. You need to break the food/fun associations by altering your routine. If your evening ritual is a bag of chips in front of the TV, relax instead with a book on the patio. Just switching rooms or chairs can help break the pattern. Don't eat in front of the telly, if you really must have treats put a few crisps, nuts or whatever in a small bowl, switch off the tv and focus on the food, you will eat less of them! Rather than meals out, plan active outings.

If you still can't break the pattern, I can help.
