As they progress towards their goal, people tend to con themselves and think, ‘That little bit won’t hurt’ or ‘It’s raining, I’ll go for my walk later’. Some people find it helpful to share their plan with a trusted friend to whom they have to report their progress periodically. The thought that someone is checking up on them might prevent a tempting situation from turning into a binge. If you think this will work for you, then go for it.

Personally, I usually advise people not to confide in others, mainly to avoid the sort of remarks people feel obliged to trot out whenever anyone is on a diet, such as ‘Why? You don’t need to lose weight’ or ‘Oh, come on, try a bit of this, it’s not fattening’. It is nobody’s business when you put on weight and nobody’s business when you lose it.
