Make Old Eating Habits Die and the Weight Loss Journey More Navigable
Your old eating habits rearing their provocative heads are an unwanted impediment when it comes to trying to lose weight. 
Most women think their new eating habits that come from dieting will be what guarantees them successful weight loss. Guess what? It ain’t so. Eighty percent of people who lose weight gain back the weight they lost.
The long journey to successful weight loss is strewn with the bodies of serial dieters. Why? Because old eating habits die hard, which means they don’t die at all, not unless you concentrate some of your effort on making sure the old eating habits are really kaput.
So how can you go about laying the all-too-familiar, old eating habits to rest? For today, let’s list a couple of ways.
When you’re going to eat fattening foods, binge eat, or overeat, stop yourself.
But before you stop yourself make a prediction about what's the worst thing that will happen because you stopped yourself from one of these forms of weight gaining eating.
Afterwards have a talk with yourself about what happened with your prediction. Did what you predict occur? If something did occur, was it as bad as expected? Was what occurred manageable? Were you surprised at what happened?
Practice doing this daily for a few weeks.

Now comes the new part. Vary the times when you stop yourself—at different meal times, in between meals, before bed. Vary the intervals between practice sessions—hours, days, weeks. Vary the places where you practice stopping yourself—at home, at a friend’s house, in a restaurant, at work. Vary the social situation—when alone, with a family member, with a friend, within a group.
Remember to have a talk with yourself about what happened with your prediction. Did what you predict occur? If something did occur, was it as bad as expected? Was what occurred manageable? Were you surprised at what happened?
