Sabotaging your diet and exercise goals

[Jennifer]

I am famous for going on a diet, seeing results, then instantly thinking that I now have an excuse to cheat!

What kinds of things do you do to sabotage yourself? And more importantly, what do you do to keep from sabotaging yourself?

You might want to give yourself a "cheat" once a week. If I allow myself treats on occasion, or very small amounts of a treat each day, I'm less likely to go overboard with it.

I have a hard time eating healthy if I have too much junk food at the house, so I try to buy sweets in small amounts so that I can't accidentally eat a whole pound of chocolate...

You have no idea how much I can relate to what you wrote. I just lose a few pounds, and I think that means I can pig out. If I keep on a daily routine, then I think I am ok. I really like getting up and walking outside first thing in the morning. I'm hoping I can begin doing that again soon.

I'm interested to see what others are going to say, because I am the exact same way.
