Dieting and saboteurs

One thing that I have always found, is that the closer I get to my goal....for a photo shoot, or vacation.....the harder it gets to stick to it.  Now part of this is just the fact that I have been being really consistent on plan for a while, and I miss certain treats....but the other factor is something that everyone should be aware of:  Not everyone in your life actually wants you to be successful in your dieting efforts!  Certain people will suddenly tell you that "you should stop now" and perhaps even drop off some of your favorite treats.  It could be your boyfriend, best friend or co-worker, it could be anyone.  That said, the reasoning behind what they are doing could be perfectly innocent, but whatever it is.....as long as your goals are reasonable....stick to them.  Of course I hope that your goal is to be fit, and healthy, not rail thin and emaciated......so within reason, accomplish your original goal.  It's not always easy, but just be aware that there will be an obstacle course ahead of you before you can really get what you want.  If it were easy, everyone would look great!
