Day Six

Protect your program...

No one will ever care as much about your diet plan as you. So it's your job to prevent people or events from pulling you off track.

Anytime you feel pressured to eat something, you can sidestop the food pusher by hinting that you'll eat later. Respond with "Not just yet; I'm going to wait a little while". If asked again later...respond with "Thanks, but I'll still wait a little bit".

1. Watch for chances to respond to food invitations by using the line "Not just yet; I'm going to wait a little while".

2. Identify at least three high-risk times or events such as family gatherings or quiet weekends. In your notebook, write down how you'll protect your diet program during each of these.

3. Do at least one thing today that reinforces your determination to protect your program at all costs.
