I hope I don't "go off diet" when at birthday parties & camping Thursday-Sunday! This will be a piece of cake... oops wrong analogy

Anyone get into this trap of being on a diet or not... so when I am not on my diet I eat like a pig and then say something like "I'm starting back up on my diet on Monday."

Well I am ready for that way of thinking to be over!

    I do this too. And if I mess up during the day, I decide to enjoy it and go all out before I get serious "tomorrow." Totally sucks. Glad for the support I get from my MFP friends. It's nice to know I'm not alone!!! :)

    Don't go off your diet. Enjoy your occasional piece of cake, pie, or ice cream just don't let it completely ruin your day or week. I find the moderation works if you learn to do it. I look at this as a lifetime journey and find that teaching myself to break the habits that really throw you off track are the best things you can do. I still have urges but have learned to curb them but also reward myself with treats now and then.
