Successful Diet Plan - How to Make Your New Diet Work

Begin by asking yourself these questions:

 What did I like about my prior diets?
 What did I dislike about my prior diets?
 What happened to make me go off my prior diets?
 How often did I diet? A few times a year? Every month? Every day - only to go off the diet a few hours after it started?
 If you diet often, why can't you stay on a diet until the weight is lost? Were the diets too bland? Too restrictive? Too much activity required? Too much meal planning required? Were they fad diets? Were they healthy diets? Did you lose motivation to lose weight?

Knowing which foods present the biggest challenges while dieting can also be a huge asset in achieving permanent weight loss. It doesn't mean that these foods have to be booted from your diet, just enjoyed with moderation. Rate the following:

On a scale of 1 to 3, rate your diet willpower when confronted with desserts.
On a scale of 1 to 3, rate your diet willpower when confronted with gravy.
On a scale of 1 to 3, rate your diet willpower when confronted with butter.
On a scale of 1 to 3, rate your diet willpower when confronted with meat fats, including the skin.
On a scale of 1 to 3, rate your diet willpower when confronted with sauces & dressings.
On a scale of 1 to 3, rate your diet willpower when confronted with sugar.

What do you expect out of your new diet plan?

 To lose down to my recommended weight, while continuing a healthier lifestyle.
 To lose down to my recommended weight, then resume my former diet in limitation.
 To lose down to my recommended weight, then resume my former diet.
 To lose just a few pounds so that I feel healthier and my clothing fits more comfortably.
 
Taking the knowledge that you gained from the answers in the three sections above, apply to your new diet. If you determined that desserts, butter and sugar are your hot points, then treat them with respect whenever you encounter them. Don't look them in the eye until you are positive that you control them, rather than THEM controlling YOU.
