    Decide what is more important to you, hitting your weight goal or mindlessly eating some dollar store treat.

    Everytime I'm tempted by something I think: "In 5 minutes, or an hour, or a week, am I going to be glad I ate that?". It helps me to remember that as much as I want to eat it, the pleasure will be temporary and I'll be right back where I was before straight after.

    Eat something fatty.. eggs cooked in real butter with avacado slices? Keeps you satiated. I just love how people are like, "Just say no!" Like it's THAT easy! For some it is, but for others, it's as bad as being addicted to drugs, cigs, sex.. etc.. there is no "Just say no.." It's a real struggle.

    I keep the tempting food away from me IF I can not have a serving and quit- I will usually find a good imitation or a healthier version of the tempting foods- that I can live with while I am "learning" to fit it into my macros or calorie range - for instance I STILL have to buy single serving of chips and keep them out in my car- because if NOT at night I will keep eating and eating- but with a single serving I ONLY bring the one in the house- usually am too lazy to get up - take off the alarm and go out to car to get a bag of chips- sometimes we just have to be a "strategist".

    I plan for a yummy snack every evening like a scoop of ice cream, a couple of cookies or some chips. Then I never feel like I'm dieting and don't get tempted because nothing is forbidden.

    Whenever I see a temptation, I remind myself of the greatest pain I've ever felt and remember what led me to have that pain (it was from a medical procedure I had last year, which was required due to my bad eating habits).
