How bad? A lil extra Creamer in your coffee or a pint of ice cream?

I log all foods and just seeing the numbers helps me.

I won't claim to be perfect. I've had a cookie, some cupcake at a bday party but I logged them and considered them a treat. I view this as my life, not just a program I'm on until goal weight. I think that mindset helps me-knowing day in and day out I need to make good decisions to be healthy.

So think about what you've been doing and if you really don't think you can do it alone then you might consider talking with a therapist. We all have issues with food. The head hungry is a lot worst that the stomach grumbling.

Keep reading this board; read only successful weight loss blogs, read successful maintenance blogs. Stay away from "diet blogs" where the writer never loses weight and always looks for pats on the back--it will justify your off-plan behavior. Poke around this site and read the posts of people who have taken off their weight/maintained their weight...let their good habits rub off on you! Studies show that surrounding yourself with people (virtual or real life) who have done this successfully will help keep you on the straight and narrow.

for me tracking every bit keeps me on track and 1200 and under so at least I haven't gained and for me that is a win. cleaning out my house of food I cant eat really has been a life saver as the devil in my head has a different plan so I figure out how to beat it and it has worked so far...good luck its a chanlenge that is for sure.
