Healthy Holiday Tip #20


OK.  This one will take some thought.  "Never just quit something....always substitute."  The rationale is that BAD habits fill needs, so it is necessary to replace them with GOOD habits that address that need.  Their ("O" Magazine's) for instance was you shouldn't  substitute push-ups for pancakes unless you REALLY love push-ups.

I think I get it.  Do you?  No need to worry about ME substituting push-ups for pancakes, by the way.

    My take on this is that if I need to eliminate (or cut back severely) on something, I need to find a substitute that bring as much pleasure. I haven't gotten into exercise yet (although I hear people say that once you do you're hooked) but I am learning to substitute some foods and find I like them even more. An example - my afternoon snack at work was often bag of Cheetos - now I am having 6 Tricuits and an ounce of sliced medium cheddar..mmmm. It's a process.

    Debbie, that afternoon snack sounds like a great substitute to me! Way to go. I think you've got the concept, lady.
