I understand the struggle of not being able to stop at one handful of chips or one cookie or one bite of chocolate. It was this kind of eating that got me into the shape I'm in today. I've tried alot of the weight loss programs and was good until something set me off and there it went.

I had to get my head to a place where I didn't beat myself up if I slipped but got back at it the next day. Finally, after many tries I'm there. Find substitutes for the times you get into the one won't hurt me. Little sayings like "That stuff is poision, it's killing me" Or " It was a treat (as cheat implies quilt), I'll go forward from here."

Find something to do, like handicrafts or exercising to fill in the times your tempted. (for me it's the evenings). One of my biggest problems is at work when I,m doing a boring job. (if you can) I listen to a book on tape and that occupies the bored part and gets me through the day.

Don't give up. It was only one day, and you have a lifetime of them ahead of you.
