I've been a yo-yo dieter for just over a decade. I would restrict myself into the narrowest of paths and if the slighted deviation occurred, I'd wave my prepared white flag and give up.
The past few months, I've done something I'd never even considered before - I gave myself leeway and the benefit of understanding I'm human. I plan my cheat days instead of letting them surprise me and absolve all my motivation.
On my weekly cheat day, I eat at maintenance and don't chastise myself for eating what I want. I've made an agreement with myself to have just the one day, and get back to working on my health the next.
Anyway, I can see myself healthy in the not so distant future. Whereas before, I'm pretty sure I had my mind already preparing for failure before I even began.
