- I will not let one small slip-up convince me that I'm stupid, worthless, or a lost cause. I will respect myself by refusing to engage in verbal self-abuse, and I will find positive ways to comfort and support myself when I’m having a hard time. Specifically, I will blog about my feelings, look at how far I've come, read my list of things about me that I like.
- I will not sacrifice my own needs to make other people happy, or do for them what they can and should be doing for themselves. When there is a conflict between my exercise and eating plans and what other people want me to do, I will negotiate to find a reasonable solution that allows me to do what I need to do for myself.
- I choose to be in charge of my own decisions and behavior. I will not talk, think, or act as if my cravings or subconscious made me do it. I will ask myself what’s most important to me at that moment and make my decision. If I don’t like the consequences, I will try something different the next time.
Special thanks to this handy little article.

What kills me is a little slip up that leads me to say, "Today is shot. Might as well have some ice cream."
So, I live in a perpetual state of "the diet starts tomorrow" (which is code for "better enjoy today).
I'd probably be better off if I never intended to diet.
