Even great football teams have weaknesses. But they know their own weaknesses and take great care to not let those weaknesses bring them down. Think about your weaknesses and be ready to bring in a free safety or an extra blocker.<\/p>\n
When it comes to weight management weaknesses, I know where to look. For me, it\u2019s all about ice cream, beer, and third helpings. If I can stop eating pints of Ben & Jerry\u2019s, limit the number of days when I drink beer, and stop eating when I\u2019m full, I have a fighting chance of at least playing solid defense.<\/p>\n
Pay attention to your own habits, and notice which items you tend to overdo. Just noticing this will go a long way when you find yourself at Thursday of an offense week and you\u2019re a little heavier than you were at the start of the week.<\/p>\n
Sometimes I eat because I\u2019m hungry. Sometimes I eat because I had a hard day. Sometimes I tell myself I deserve a 3rd<\/sup> beer, a 3rd<\/sup> helping, and an extra scoop of ice cream, even though it\u2019s going to make me feel like crap afterwards. I\u2019m trying to get better at noticing when I tell myself I deserve it and will feel better, because the truth is I also deserve to be healthy, and unhealthy eating doesn\u2019t actually make me feel better.<\/p>\n Again, notice the situations where you\u2019re more likely to fumble the ball. Come up with strategies to protect the ball in these situations.<\/p>\n There are two situations I\u2019ve learned to watch out for. The first is when I come home from work. I love to walk through the door, open the refridgeerator door, and pop open a beer. What I\u2019ve found is that if I can make it past the first few minutes after coming home, the frantic desire for a beer declines dramatically. If I have a pitcher of ice tea ready in the fridge, and I pour myself a glass of ice tea when I get home, I\u2019m not nearly so tempted by the beer.<\/p>\n The second situation, before which I am almost helpless, is free food. I don\u2019t know why, but it\u2019s very very hard for me to pass up free food. This includes anything where I don\u2019t have to pay extra for more helpings, like at a buffet. To tell the truth, I haven\u2019t figured out how to deal with this one yet. I rely on will power, and my will power is usually no match for free food, even on an offense week.
