Learn to Resist Temptation
Staying on track is tough. There will always be temptations that lure you — whether it's the smell of freshly baked doughnuts next to your office, or the cocktail party you've been invited to, which is at the time of your core-conditioning class — and sometimes you may give in. But don't let those slipups get you down. You can get back on track in no time! The key is to learn from your mistakes.

Your challenge is to recognize why you gave in to a temptation and how you felt afterward. Chances are, you didn't feel too good if you ate something off the plan, or if you skipped your workout for the day. Examining what happened will remind you why you need to stay strong for the long haul!

Stop It Before It Starts
When you stop and think about your setbacks, you might see a pattern emerge. Do you ease up when you're alone, when it's late at night, or when you see progress and think you can let go? Everyone loses control, but maybe you have specific vulnerabilities that you can fight. Lonely and bored? Call a friend, go out, or read a good book. You can also try starting your nighttime routine earlier if it will lessen your opportunities to snack. There are almost always preventive measures you can take to stop temptation before it's too late! www.5factordiet.com
