If you think, “It’s the weekend, I just want to relax and not think about healthy eating,” remind yourself that if you get off track and overeat, you’ll think a lot about it Monday morning when you’re struggling to get back on track and feeling guilty about the weekend. So think about it now, or think about it later, either way you’re going to think about it.

Sabotaging Thought: I’ll start my diet tomorrow.

Response: Waiting for tomorrow just doesn’t work! The longer I put it off, the harder it will be because I’ll only strengthen my giving-in habit. If I wait for the the “right time” to start dieting, or if I wait for “tomorrow,” to start, I may never start! Besides, today is yesterday’s tomorrow, which means I should start RIGHT NOW!

It’s worth it to me to do them, whether or not I feel like it, because it will help me achieve my goals. Besides, I even MORE don’t feel like staying overweight.”

Sabotaging Thought: I just want to eat and eat.

Response: Overeating NEVER feels as good as thinking about it does. My sabotaging thoughts try to convince me that I’ll love it and feel really happy if I overeat, but in fact, that’s never the case. When I overeat, I end up feeling bad, guilty, and angry with myself.

It tends to only be when dieters are off track and struggling that they wonder, “Is it worth it to keep putting in the effort?” When they’re on track and feeling in control, they don’t struggle with this question. If you’re asking yourself, “Is it worth it?” remind yourself that once you’re back on track and feeling great, the answer is always YES!
