I say I will, but then I don't

Eat the healthier choice. WHY!!!
At the last minute, I eat the burger rather than the chicken salad.
At the last minute I eat the handful of m&m's rather than the fruit in my lunch bag.
At the last minute I give in.

Then I am angry with myself, thinking why, why didn't I just eat what I said I was going to eat, what I planned on eating.

Does anyone else do this to themselves?

    Yes. But, I'm learning to get better at it.

    I've started by removing all of the unhealthy options from my home. Literally--all of them! I spend quite a bit of time working from home, so that's been helpful. The other thing that helps is having a buddy. When I can be accountable to another person and know that they're "sacrificing" the same things I am (junk food in general, cookies, fries...whatever it is), then I feel a sense of obligation to make the healthier choice.

    I am so waiting for it to be better.
    Unfortunately, everyone else in my home is thin and healthy. Which is why I can't get rid of all the unhealthy stuff.
    When we have family dinners, I don't want to think about eating well. And I want to eat what they eat.
    Very hard battle for me.
