[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]In addition to the PPs' suggestions, it helped me for my "treats" to just not be easily available. No ready-to-eat sweets around the house at all. Sure, I have sugar and flour and baking ingredients, and on the weekend I might bake a half batch of cookies for my kids and have one for myself, but most nights I'm not going to start up the KitchenAid when a craving hits at 10pm. (If a sleeve of Oreos were in the house, though...watch out.)[/b]

Same with booze. We have wine in the house, but I'm not going to crack open a whole bottle just because I'm a little thirsty watching TV. With hard alcohol around, it was just a little too easy to pour a little more, or have one more "splash."

As for movement, it needs to become part of your life. I personally didn't do well with multi-week challenges (because they end!), and it took me YEARS to be consistent, but a half hour or an hour of morning "movement" -- I won't even call it a workout -- is now a constant part of my life, every single day.

OP here. This is a HUGE part of it. I can easily binge a sleeve of oreos, or several of the almond butter sandwich cookies from Costco, or chocolate covered almonds. Perhaps the easiest and first solution is to remove that stuff from the house. [/quote]
