There are temptations around you all the time. The trick is to work your way through anxiety or your tiredness or whatever, and not let yourself get so hungry that you're going and stopping for the burgers, and you don't view it as reward. You're doing better for yourself is eating better food.

I try not to diet because it never really works for me, if I tell myself I can't eat something then I tend to want to eat everything in sight.
