Honestly for me I had to talk myself out of cheating... before you pick up anything besides the skim milk think to yourself... how far you've come.. the sacrifices you've made, how soon the surgery is... for me I love mozzarella sticks and they have them at my job when I thought about eating one I said to myself "Now why do you need this food item? Its not like you've never had it before and don't know how it tastes? Its not like you can't have a bite of it in the future? Do I REALLY need to have it?" Those thought steered me away from making bad choices.
