Healthy Eating and Peer Pressure
If you enjoy a healthy lifestyle, than you probably
know that peer pressure to eat foods that are not good for you is a major part
of your life. If you are worried about the food that goes into your mouth, don’t
worry—there are ways to overcome peer pressure. It simply takes a little
know-how to get people off your back!
Alternatively you may feel pressured to eat is at work when the boss orders
lunch for everyone at a meeting or when you have to visit a client. Instead of
giving in to temptation, simply politely decline the food by letting your boss
know in advance or order a meal that is healthy and split the portion in half so
you have a meal for tomorrow’s lunch as well.
While refusing bad foods is fine, you should be eating good foods. If you do
not, dangerous eating habits and disorders can develop, which will give you,
your friends, and your doctor a real reason to worry. It’s ok to say no to peer
pressure, but don’t say no to food in general!
Parties are a major source of peer pressure, especially with alcohol. However, remember that alcohol contains hundreds of empties calories in just one drink. When you go to a part, people might be pressuring you to have a drink and relax, and it can be difficult to say no when they are constantly trying to convince you. Instead, offer to drive to a bar instead. This way, you re the designated driver, so people won’t want you to drink and, in fact, they will probably be purchasing you waters and maybe even helping to pay for your gas. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.
