Seriously, I've been watching the Biggest Loser Marathon on the Style channel for the past three hours. It's definitely motivating me to resist the urge to go and buy those Brownie Batter Blizzards they keep advertising on the commercial breaks. Ugh, it's little things like this that drive me nuts! I'm so motivated in the morning, but just watch- 3 pm will come along and destroy my determination.I've found that it's not necessarily the types of food that tempt me, but the time of day and the people I'm with. (My FI and MOH are both naturally thin and don't have to watch what they eat, like me!)

So this is a double-sided question- what motivates you to follow a healthy diet? And what trips you up and gets you off track?

On a day to day basis, I'm pretty good, but whenever there is a change in my routine, it tends to mess me up a bit. i.e. going out for dinner, having company, having somebody unexpectedly offer me an icy cold beer on a brutally hot day ...

I have learned not to freak out about it. I just weigh myself after my bout of indulgence, get a little disgusted, look at a picture of my dress, go out for a big power walk, and get myself back on track. 

As an aside, how messed up is it to advertise brownie blizzards during a Biggest Loser marathon? I think we should boycott Dairy Queen for utter cruelty and shamelessness. :-)
