Can’t Lose Weight—Old Eating Habits Are in the Way
One of the biggest weight loss spoilers is that old eating habits die hard. Even after months of successful dieting, up can pop one of the old eating habits, overeating, binge eating, or eating fattening foods. What happened? Things were going so well; it seemed like the old eating habits were no longer there. 
In fact, the old eating habits were nowhere in sight. There was no longer any sign that eating off the diet was an issue. As time wore on and diet food became part of the daily routine, there was less and less need to worry about the recurrence of the old eating habits.
It turns out that like any old habit, eating habits “die hard,” which is to say the old eating habits don’t die at all. They are there still, lurking, ready to pop up again and again. The new eating habits learned through dieting did not do what they were designed to do. They did not replace the old eating habits, not really. After months and months of successful dieting, it only appeared to be the case that the new replaced the old.
The new did not actually replace the old, and the new also did not get rid of the old. So what’s the conclusion? Well, it looks like the old eating habits need to be worked on more directly in order to be rid of them. More on this in the post to follow.
