 Understand that tere is no easy path. You will suffer while you make good and healthy food choises. If someone tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something IMO.

# Reframe it
That friction of wanting to eat crap but saying No, is an excellent opportunity to build and train will power.

# Defaults and Fixed schedules
Some times it help to take the choise of having a snac or dessert out of your hands and do it on a somewhat more rigid schedule. To avoid having lots temptations. I.e.:

- I have ice cream on saturday nights after rollerblading, but not randomly douring the week.
- I don't hold back on having a slice of cake or something like that if I go out to a café on a date or somethin but I don't eat crap when my coworkers regularly bring that to the office during the week.
