I self sabotaged too many times to count! It's definitely very mental for me. I also had a huge fear of failure because I'd failed so many times before. So when I started there was always this little voice in the back of my head telling me that this plan wouldn't work, that I'd give up like I gave up last time, that one piece of cake wouldn't hurt. Whenever this happened, I wrote in my journal or took a walk.

When I started last year, I made the commitment to stick to plan for one month. I wasn't thinking past that first month. I kept telling myself that I could do anything for one month and then decide if I would continue. After that first month was up...I never looked back.
