The greatest obstacle to adopting healthy eating habits is guilt. Oh well, I might as well enjoy this weekend and start over on Monday. We choose structured programs because they relieve us from making choices for ourselves. Following a properly designed program is a healthy choice, but expecting to stick to a regimented eating and exercise plan for a long stretch without deviating is unrealistic and a set-up for failure. If you begin to change your habits with the assumption that any deviation from your plan will ruin it, you might as well not even begin.
Life is full of unplanned obstacles, distractions, and temptations.
