Something that I really enjoy reading this week and I will fallow the advise, it is how to maintenance my weight. Every time I read magazines, online articles, books and even TV show, I try to fallow their advice on how to drop those pounds that bothering me or how to keep a healthy balance on exercise. However I always fail. According to our text book successful weight-loss maintenance could be difficult because the stress management or because time. Stress many times lead us to reach for empty calories food moreover sometimes it is difficult to keep with time when people have such a busy schedule to do those exercise that will help in the long run to loose weight or keep us fit. I have a good friend that he always carries healthy snacks, and every time he will take the stairs, or park very far so he can have his walk for the day. I wonder why I can’t do it too? And I found the solution, reading our chapters this week I understand that the environmental influences play a big role on my problem in this case of keeping me fit or without those pounds. It was very interesting to learn that when we are in surroundings for eat a snack or a meal with lighting, aromas, décor, and sounds we ether eat more or less depending on how is our environment. Another environmental influences that caught my attention were package and portion sizes. It is true that when by those bags of potatoes that we love if we eat from the bag we tend to eat more than if we just measure a small portion in a small plate or other food container. In conclusion I am guilty of not been self-conscious of how much I should be eating when I by that bag of potatoes ships, also of bringing healthy snacks with me or park far and walk those stair as every time I have the opportunity.
