One thing that I've struggled with but that has been immensely effective for me in my weight loss journey is to allow myself to splurge one day per week without feeling guilt over it.
No, this doesn't mean that all day I eat whatever I want to the point of gorging myself, though I do have days when this happens. When I'm on vacation, I do eat whatever I want for one day of the vacation.
I have had to learn to let go of the notion that food and guilt are related to each other at all. I have yo-yoed over and over again because I've thought that if I "blew it" for the day that I might as well eat and eat and then just start over the next day. Only the next day doesn't net better results.
Instead, I have to remember that food is my friend, not my enemy. I need it to live. As a result, if I splurge and actually plan my splurging in advance of doing it, I don't feel guilt.
