You are listening to Weight Loss Made Real and this is episode 70.

I'm your host Master Weight Loss Coach and author Cookie Rosenblum.

Today and every Tuesday I'm going to coach you and teach you how to end your emotional

eating, how to bust through those urges to binge and how to leave all your overeating habits in the past.

So if you just found me, welcome.

And if you're a regular listener, welcome back.

Today we're going to talk about what happens when everything is going along smoothly

and suddenly you just think you don't care.

So get comfortable and get ready to be coached. Let's dive right in.

Now before I begin, today's podcast is a result of a letter from a reader Heather and Heather wrote a great question that many of you think about and have experienced and the phrase that Heather

uses in her letter is what happens when I just say to myself screw it so please know that I don't want to offend anybody and I don't

consider that word bad language, but if you are offended by that phrase, maybe this is not the

one that you want to listen to, but that's the phrase

I'm going to use today.

And what we're going to talk about is what Heather wants to know, and that is, why do I keep saying

screw it when I'm trying to lose weight. So here's Heather's letter with her

permission. I guess my biggest issue and what I'd like to hear you address is the part where I say to myself screw it I'll do better

tomorrow but of course tomorrow never comes I can't even tell you how many Sunday

last bad meals I've had. I'm not so much concerned with beating myself

over it as I'm just wondering why I get to that place of disregard for my health, my comfort, my general well-being. Like most people I wasn't

always fat. I quit smoking four years ago and I replaced cigarettes with food and it's not celery.

So I know I can break a bad habit.
