Mind Training??
How do you retrain your mind to think of food as fuel for your body rather than a "treat"? I always start off my diet and fitness with such lustre but after a few days I start thinking of nipping to the chip shop to give myself a "treat". I know this is wrong and its not a treat for my poor body but I just wondered if…

For example, my weakness is cheese and I read someone commenting on Homous tasting like cheese if it was put on raw carrot.
