I go through periods where i'm extremely motivated to eat healthy, and i feel so good and proud doing it. But then i have days where i just don't care and go way over my calorie limit by binging all day. I'm so bipolar with my diet

    It’s discipline, not motivation. You can do this!

    just keep trying.. eventually it will be the magic moment and it clicks. when you give up. you fail for good.

    For me i always think of progress. What progress am i making everyday so by the time i sleep i feel satisfied. Plus i always remind myself of results of 6 to 8 months when i will have a different body.

    I think that is perfectly normal. Almost every yoyo-dieter experiences this. If your diet makes you feel proud, it means you are depriving yourself. You can't go on depriving yourself forever, so you'll sabotage yourself at every opportunity.

    We need to find the balance and understand the meaning of context and the concept of time. Every day, we're making many many eating decisions. We have to use judgement, and in order to do that, we have to know what we're doing, and why. Learning about nutrition and psychology helps. Neutral and balanced information, and taking the emotion out of it, is essential. We need discipline to build and develop good habits, but also to work with our natural inclinations, not against them and rely on willpower.
