Dieting is generally easy in the beginning because motivation is high but at some point (whether it’s in three weeks or three months) it gets harder. This is completely NORMAL and it happens to everyone. As long as you keep at it, it will get easier again.

If you encounter food pushers this weekend, remember it’s not their job to stop pushing food on you; that’s what they do. It IS your job to say no!

The number on the scale is just INFORMATION about whether what you’re doing is working. It says nothing about who you are as a person.

I don’t want to stick to my restaurant plan right now; I’m too hungry. Response: Even if I think I’m really hungry and won’t be satisfied, that’s not true!

It’s not always reasonable in every situation to lose weight, or even to maintain. If the scale goes up, it means it wasn’t reasonable not to gain a little.

If you’ve been off track, take some time to reflect on just how good being on track and in control feels. It’s worth it and you can do it!

This weekend, if you get off track, don’t get discouraged. Remind yourself that mistakes are part of the process, and get right back on track.

If, for example, you’re drinking soda 7 days a week and want to cut it out, remember there’s a difference between drinking it every day and never drinking.

It’s okay to eat this because it’s healthy. Response: I can gain weight eating all healthy foods, too. All foods have calories.

“I don’t deserve credit for my dieting tasks because I should already be doing them.” No, you SHOULDN’T already be doing these things, because you didn’t know how.
