End emotion-driven eating: she swapped strudel for cereal and lost 86 pounds
END EMOTION-DRIVEN EATING: SHE SWAPPED STRUDEL FOR CEREAL AND LOST 86 POUNDS
When Teresa Pucsek and her family came to America from Hungary in 1951, Teresa brought that country's tasty treats with her. She continued to make apple strudel, chicken paprika, goulash, and dumplings whenever she yearned for the satisfying cuisine of her homeland. It kept her from feeling homesick.
It also made her overweight. In 1975, at age 55, Teresa reached her top weight of 205 pounds. "I was at a point where I just didn't like myself anymore," she says. "Then I read about Weight Watchers in a magazine, and I decided to give it a try."
The program taught Teresa how to make smart food choices and how to cook with low-calorie ingredients. "I was amazed at how quickly the pounds began to disappear," she says. "I lost between 7 and 8 pounds in the very first week."
But then, Teresa noticed that her weight loss was slowing down. She did an inventory of what she was eating and found one culprit showing up repeatedly—her favorite, apple strudel. She was indulging once or twice a week.
"You keep eating what you grew up with," Teresa says. "It's built into you. So I had to figure out a way to eat differently but still get that familiar, old-home feeling."
Teresa decided to trade her strudel for cereal. She had a bowl every evening, before she went to bed. The sugar in the cereal satis fied her sweet tooth as the strudel once had. And the milk, which she drank while growing up in Hungary, reconnected her with her childhood. She was able to lose weight without feeling deprived.
Teresa, who's now 80, shed a total of 86 pounds in about a year and has kept off the weight for 24 years. These days, she teaches baking at her local senior citizens' center, where she occasionally whips up a batch of her apple strudel. She even allows herself a serving, as a treat. But she hasn't forsaken her bedtime snack of cereal, creating her own concoction of one sugary brand and three nonsugary brands. "I constantly alter the proportions so that the mixture always tastes a little different," she explains.
WINNING ACTION
Satisfy your sweet tooth with a new favorite. A bowl of cereal with skim milk can satisfy a craving for sweets without blowing a healthy diet. Like Teresa, I satisfy my nighttime cravings for sweets with cereal, but without milk. I just pour some into a bowl and sit down for sweet and crunchy handfuls of Golden Grahams.
