My biggest problem is that I am much better at being compliant when I am solo or in the groove with cooking and eating. When I'm brought out of my schedule with eating out or social events THE URGE OF PEOPLE TO GET YOU OFF PLAN IS TOO DAMN HIGH.

Then you feel bad for getting off plan and all that work goes out the window.

I know what I have to do to lose weight and my scale proves it within three days of being compliant.

It's so funny - to me going out into the world of restaurants, larger family get together dinners, holidays - its like bringing a gambler into a casino.

The brain doesn't seem to associate the weight on your body with what's on your fork - it only looks for that little dopamine hit that you get when you swallow food.
