The day we embark on a diet plan, we are gung-ho and ready to go; the kitchen is filled (or maybe rather not so full) with lettuce, eggs, lean meats, the cookie drawers are empty and the fruit and vegetable drawer is overflowing. We've got bottles of water, alcohol has been banished and a whole bunch of herbal teas have replaced the chocolate. Intentions are good, resolve is off the dial and we are on our way. But what happens into day four (if you've made it this far, you are doing really good) and you are invited to a dinner party? What happens when you are invited out for a drink? What if you have this insurmountable craving for something sweet? Did you succumb and eat a cupcake at the weekly 11AM office meeting and now feel discouraged and figure you might as well quit? Don't despair and above all, don't give up. Help is on the way

Cheat Sheet and Survival Guide

Temptation at Home

Remove all temptation from your home. If you are prone to eating what's around: it's got to go. The less you have around, the less your mind has to battle/agonize about what you are not supposed to eat. "Just putting food where you can see it next to you depletes your willpower," science writer John Tierney says in his book, "Willpower", co-authored by psychologist Roy F. Baumeister. "Whereas putting it away in a drawer or putting it across the room makes it easier because you're not actively resisting temptation."

Tierney goes on to say this: " You only have a finite amount [of willpower] as you go through the day, so you should be careful to conserve it and try to save it for the emergencies."
