It starts with a list, grocery store economics 101

Sooooo you are hanging out late at night and you hear your name being called by the Oreos in the pantry....total nightmare when you're trying to be healthy, right? But wait....what are those Oreos doing there in the first place? Are you unknowingly sabotaging your B-FIT4U lifestyle? Here's the deal, if you don't buy it, it's not an overwhelming temptation in your home to eat later! Let's repeat this mantra: It ALL starts in the grocery store! Indeed, good and bad choices start at the store. If you have a love of ice cream but a hard time keeping it portion controlled, then no reason to have that willpower sabotager in your house. Go out for a treat like that once in awhile, and order a sensible portion; have your treat"out" but not the temptation to overeat it by the gallon in your home. And never go to the store hungry, you will never stick to your healthy grocery list! Start in the produce aisle, hit up lean proteins there after and low fat dairy. Keep to the perimeter of the store for healthier items, and only fill in your basket with the middle aisle items of whole grain cereals, breads and pasta, keeping the snack aisles to a minimum. Don't sabotage your healthy promise to yourself by filling your pantry and fridge with sabotagers. Think B-FIT4U and stock up on the good stuff, leaving treats as an outside snack with a friend every once in awhile. You got this B-FITTERS! :)
