Spring is here, Summer is around the corner, and as a exhausted, over busy mother, it's easier to eat something that comes in a packet (eg. Crisps or biscuits) than cook a nutritious meal.
Tips to stay AWAY from the biscuit tin:-
1. Don't be unrealistic. Looking at pictures of Victoria's Secret models is only going to make you more depressed about your post baby body. NOBODY looks like that, even before a baby. Don't beat yourself up.
Instead.... Print off some old holiday snaps of YOURSELF, in a bikini and make that your goal. Stick these pictures on the biscuit tin and ok the inside of your "treat" cupboard door.
2. Buy already prepared carrot batons and a delicious low fat dip/ hummus. You can one handedly feed baby, feed yourself and dip at the same time... MAGIC! Also use whole meal toasted pitta, celery etc...
3. Berries are a good snack to have in the fridge. You can guilt freely shovel them in.
4. A small hand of salted cashews are better than crisps. They have loads of fat so a SMALL hand full. To test the fat. Light the cashew like a candle. It will burn for ages.
5. Precooked chicken breasts. If your starving. And are looking for the crisp packet.
ALWAYS THINK.... Summer is coming,!
DON'T STARVE YOURSELF. You will end up "skinny-fat" which is the WORST body shape. (When you appear skinny but have a very high body fat percentage and little muscle)
