(CNN) - if you try to lose weight, to close the eyes for a minute and imagine the moments that can make you fat.
Think about your day and you'll see, as big and manifest as a sundae hot fudge sitting right in front of you. You've been good all day, and wham, friends suggest that you go to a buffet for dinner. or you have worked diligently and wham, you find yourself in a cocktail with an array of desserts killer ever.
Don't rely on your willingness to through you these difficult times, advises James Hill, Executive Director of the Anschutz Health and Wellness Center at the University of Colorado.
"The will is not inexhaustible, he says." You only have a certain amount of it, and it is passed. ?
The key is to accept the fact that your wishes will be exhausted at a given time and plan strategies for you by fattening of situations. Here are the top five moments that can make you fat, and what you can do to thwart the.
On vacation
The problem: you are on vacation and you want to relax, unwind and enjoy the local cuisine - but want not to come home with books to throw.
The solution: "Go for it," advises Frances Largeman-Roth, a dietitian and food and nutrition Chief Editor at health magazine. But sharing with others. If you are in Paris, for example, do not jump a visit to the bakery - which would be very sad - but share the goodies with friends.
After a break
The problem: you want to bury your sorrows in a pint of ice cream.
The solution: "place of the meeting of your friend for a drink on your ex, meet up for a run or power walk" Largeman-Roth advises. In addition, register for a team that is training for a 5 K or any other race to divert the attention of your car and meet new people.
A party with fabulous food
The problem: you are at a party and everything looks delicious. It's free, it is front of you, and nobody is you stop.
Solution: do not get hungry, said Dr. Melina Jampolis, expert and food of the CNNHealth diet fitness. Eat a snack of small proteins, prior to the feast as a few slices of Turkey, cutting half a million low fat cottage cheese or half a bar of protein.
Also, limit your alcohol and not only because it is caloric, but because if it is difficult to control yourself when you're sober, imagine how much more difficult it is then that tipsy.
Watching television
The problem: you want plop from television with a high-fat snack.
The solution: use a small bowl, Largeman-Roth, said, or snack frozen grapes or vegetables with a yogurt based dip.
A buffet or restaurant with huge portions
The problem: Buffets offer a unlimited amount of food, and much of it has tons of calories. Restaurants with big delicious food portions made it difficult to push the plate away.
The solution: simply do not go to buffet restaurants, Hill advises. But if you really, sitting at a table where you can face away from the buffet - Jampolis said studies show people facing distance tend to eat less - and load the initially on fruit, vegetables and protein lean if (at least I hope) you do not have enough room for the bad stuff. At the end of the meal, it indicates having everyone at the table get as a dessert and share, so you get a taste of many things.
As for the restaurants of the big portion, the trick is to get the doggy bag in the front, not the back-end. Hill suggests when you order your meal, ask for half of your dinner to be presented to you on a plate and the other half in a takeout box.
