I've relapsed into bad habits several times now, and it's been quite upsetting. Sometimes I feel like I'm putting too much focus into what I'm not supposed to do. Don't eat this. Don't eat that.

The only way to manage undesirable habits is is to stop using them, stop thinking about them, and start forming new habits that weaken and suppress old ones. Unfortunately, it is common practice in the weight loss community to focus on the things you’re not supposed to do
