I used to be that person, and honestly, I probably would still be if I didn't change my lifestyle altogether. I don't know if this is feasible in your situation, but maybe try getting rid of junkfood in the house altogether?
If not, maybe, think about how that junkfood fits into your goals (it probably doesn't really fit), so maybe it may help to think about it, and if you're making more of a conscious effort to think about the food you are choosing, it might help to not eat the ones that you shouldn't.
Another thing that helps me is planning. I plan my day everyday at the start of each day and think about what I need to eat to achieve my goals and why it's important to stick to my plan. Thinking about it that way has really helped me to change my mindset and my actions.
We're stronger than food, you CAN do this!!0 -
Daily Post (Sunday)
Day: Today was Day 1 of my new training program and I was super excited and a bit nervous since it's really pretty aggressive. I did it, and much to my surprise, I found the strength and it worked out really well, I crushed it!! And I've cleaned most of my entire house today, mainly out of fear that I will be too sore to move tomorrow, but for now, I feel great!
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise: Yes--60 minutes weight training, 2 hours cleaning.
Water Intake: 99 oz2 -

What were your Non-Scale Victories this week?
That I made it to the gym 5 times this week I went STRONG despite that I had only returned to the gym the week before. My BIGGEST NSV was that yesterday was the FIRST TIME in over a year's membership there, I actually took a shower there. They have kind of an open community shower (women only of course), but to shower, undress, everything, it's all in the open. I never felt anywhere close to being comfortable enough to attempt it. So for me, this was HUGE. Another NSV was that on your 100th attendance of your gym, you get a gym t-shirt with their logo on it. That was last week for me, but I didn't get the t-shirt until this week. They gave me a MEDIUM and it fit perfectly! I was seriously jumping internally for joy at that one. It's been so long since a medium actually fit. And even better, it appeared to be a women's medium! Lots of NSV's this week, happy happy!3 -

Weigh in week:4
Weigh in day: Monday
Previous Week's Weight:163.8
Current Weight:163
Much slower loss this week but I think it's because I've been going to the gym as I tend to gain muscle pretty fast, and it's probably also inflammation. My gym has one of those body scans so I had my muscle mass, fat, etc analyzed on Wednesday. The trainer was curious about my diet and weight loss so he's scheduled me another can in two weeks from Wednesday. So it will be interesting to see if and how my body composition changes.2 -

I swear some of my most dramatic months for inches are the ones I don't lose as much weight as I have in other months...which supports the idea that weight loss and fat loss don't occur simultaneously. I do my scans every 4 weeks, helps keep me motivated and to see where I can improve.
And another thing...slow and steady wins the race...it's better to lose it slow and work on your body composition and making good habits for the future...through diet and exercise than to just focus on losing the weight quickly...so good for you, that's really great to see you working hard on both fronts.1 -

Ultimately at some point you just have to turn a corner on the whole priorities thing.. Hopefully you don't leave it until diabetes and ruined knee joints really start to impact your quality of life. I know I did, and I sure wish I'd changed direction a few years earlier.
I find it's important to stock the fridge and pantry with the right food. And don't try to be that perfect diet person. You can eat "naughty" things.. Just eat the right amount of them. Once you break the pattern of dependency on comfort foods, it will be a heck of a lot easier to open the fridge and make that "right" choice.
I picked up a saying last year, and I think it resonates.. Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most.3 -

Daily Post (Monday)
This weekend I count as a success. I had things that I shouldn't (mainly a blizzard and pizza rolls), but I still kept it pretty close to my allotted calories (with extra earned from exercise).
Tuesday (I do these in the morning, so my info is for yesterday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise: Yes, strength and a trip to IKEA1 -
Weigh in day Monday
Pw 194.0
Cw 196.5
So, I would guess my NSV is that the gain wasn't as bad as I was fearing after a week of travel, meetings, catered meals and holiday party. I'll take it! And I'm back on track this week.

Comments:
GUYS. I reached 192.1 before this weekend and I was so happy but I'm always so much more lax on the weekend which ruins me. My brother decided on taking us to a buffet on his birthday so that messed me up but at least I still have a little loss since last week? BUT IT'S THE LAST WEEK before the end of January! So going to pick up the gears and go really hard this week and reach my goal! We got this!!
(Also, are we weighing in one more time before the end of the month?)
This challenge has been so helpful in helping me to understand where my weaknesses and strengths are. The daily log not only holds me accountable but also is like a little journal for myself to help reflect on what went well, what can go better, any patterns that I notice, and what my goals are for the week. AND I definitely lost weight during it! Will definitely be joining February after the last log for January!! I'm so excited for this week because I KNOW it will go well!1 -
