Play With Your Food

The Weight-Loss Skill: Avoiding boredom with food choices so you’ll stay satisfied and on plan
The Challenge:  It’s easy to fall into food ruts. After all, we know how to track familiar foods—no looking things up, no meals to plan. Plus they’re safe and comfortable. But eating the same foods over and over can get boring—and boring is not sustainable. It can lead to feelings of deprivation, which can make us more vulnerable to temptation and overeating.  What’s more, when we stick to the same foods, we miss out on nutrients our bodies need.

The Points Plus Solution:   In this meeting, we will share strategies for avoiding boredom, including ideas for spicing up menus. We’ll also participate in a food swap during which we’ll pass around labels and packages and discuss our favorite food finds.
