3 Tips to Stop Kisses from Making YOU Fat!

[bmagill]

We all over indulge sometimes, but very few of us realize just how powerful proximity can be for promoting that overindulgence. When I worked at Craig Hospital, I swear I packed on 10lbs for each holiday. All of our patients would bring us chocolate kisses to show their gratitude. If you don’t know by now, if it’s in front of me, I’m eatin’ it!

Apparently I’m Not Alone

A study done at the University of Illinois using Hershey’s Kisses showed that when workers kept chocolate on their desk, they ate an average of nine per day. When the chocolate was moved just six feet away, they ate an average of four per day.

3 Tips to Stop Kisses From Making YOU Fat:

1. You know the old saying, “Out of Sight, Out of Mind.” Well, go hide it so you aren’t tempted!
2. Dump out the jar of candy, fill it with some raw nuts and make sure you have plenty of fruits and veggies in close proximity instead.
3. When all else fails and you can’t rely on willpower, don’t bring chocolate into the house! No need to be ashamed, I can’t bring chocolate into my house unless is raw cocoa powder:~)

So where do you have your kisses hiding?

Love,

Brandi

No Kisses Here!  But, I did just buy a giant bag of M&Ms to use for potty training...funny enough, I haven't had even one!

How about those little Dove chocolates??? Publix (a local grocery store in Florida) had the bags on sale...buy one, get one free! I've had more than one, unfortunately. :-(

I'm pregnant, and when I am, I don't crave sweets.  The only time I have them is once a week (maybe) at my grandmothers, and if I'm out and about and get weak and shaky, I have one piece from a dark dove bar.  When I'm not pregnant, I just don't buy it but once every couple months lol!  Can't deprive yourself totally!
