[quote=Anonymous]ok another wild guess…if food is your reward, maybe you are rewarding yourself for looking great--for accomplishing your goal?

or…more likely, as another PP alluded to…it's a life-long thing.  So let's say you want to be a particular weight.  Well that's a concrete goal, and there's an end point.  But after that's done, there's just…the rest of your life.  THAT thought can be overwhelming, which is why people focus on "one day at a time, " or "just today"

If so, a good trick is to set a slightly higher warning trip-wire, where if you get to that weight you will go into full hard-core diet/workout mode.  Hopefully you will moderate your eating and exercise because you are fearful of hitting that trip-wire.  After a while, the moderating yourself method becomes natural.  That's what I'm doing now, on "maintenance" at Weight Watchers.  I control myself (I admit, better control 2 days and up to the weekly meeting, less after the meeting, but it still works) because I don't want to go back into weight-loss mode.
