How to avoid unhealthy food and eating habits. If you are on a diet or just enjoy a healthy lifestyle, then you may know that peer pressure to eat foods that are not good for you is a major part of your life. If you're worried about the food coming from your mouth, do not worry there's a way to deal with peer pressure. It just takes a little knowledge to get people away from you!
The parties are the main source of peer pressure, especially with alcohol. However, remember that alcohol contains hundreds of calories of chips in just one drink. When you go to a part, people may be pressuring you to drink and relax, and it's hard to say no as they keep trying to convince you. Instead, offer to go to a bar. This way, you're back to being a designated driver, so people do not want you to drink and, in fact, they might buy your water and may also help pay for your gas. This is a win-win situation for everyone.
Another time when you feel pressured to eat at work when a boss orders lunch for everyone at the meeting or when you should visit a client. Instead of succumbing to temptation, it is easy to refuse food by letting your boss know in advance or ordering a healthy meal and splitting the servings in half so that you also eat for lunch tomorrow.
Weddings, birthday parties, and other special events can also cause havoc on your food, even if you are good at resisting temptation. When someone gives you a piece of cake and will not take the answer, it will be hard to know what to say! Here, small white lies may be appropriate. For example, saying that your stomach upset in the morning will convince someone that you do not want to eat right now or pretending to have a chocolate allergy will make people let you enjoy a party without the hassle of food.
Remember, however, that while rejecting bad food is fine, you should eat good food. Otherwise, harmful eating habits and disorders may develop, which will give you, your friends, and your doctor the real reason to worry. It's okay to say no to peer pressure, but do not say no to the food in general!
