Thin Club Setbacks and "Set Back on Tracks"

Here are five of my most common Thin Club set backs - along with the solutions I have found to set me back on track:

1 - Looking in the mirror and seeing the "fat girl" looking back at me.

Solution - Keep your befores on-hand to remind you of how far you've come.  Here are mine - http://thethinclub.eachday.com/sets/141325.

2 - Catching myself falling into old habits like eating late at night.

Solution - Brush my teeth as soon as dinner is over.  Go upstairs to avoid the food (keep food ONLY downstairs, or in one place in my house!).

3 - Becoming overwhelmed with work and forgetting to eat.

Solution - Planning 101.  I bring a meal replacement shake with me to work and a bagful of veggies.

4 - Not finding time to exercise.  Too wiped from work to do it at night!

Solution - Set my alarm for just 20 minutes earlier.  Exercising balances my moods and gives me energy in the morning.  (Note: some people are more energetic at night - if that's the case, set your alarm for a brief evening workout).

5 - Your friends just want to hang around, eat and do sedentary things.

Solution - If they refuse to do anything active with you, even a walk, consider taking a break and finding friends with a more active mindset.  Sorry if that sounds harsh, but you read it here and in the newspapers--friends CAN make you fat!
