Diet Amnesia

I literally get this all the time. Most people are probably guilty of it; going somewhere (for me this is most often work or my boyfriend's or dad's) and completely forgetting the fact they're trying to lose weight, and so accepting sweets, biscuits, and any other crap that you didn't intend to eat that day.

Like I said, for me it most commonly occurs when I'm at work, in particular in the kitchen. Last night saw me picking at leftover chips and mayonnaise from staff tea, whilst deep cleaning the room service area, and popping a Fox's glacier fruit in my mouth every time I entered the kitchen thereafter. It's weird because it happens without even thinking. It's not like I have a debate with myself in my head "You're supposed to be on a diet", "You don't have enough syns for that!" it literally just happens. It's only after I seem to 'remember' that I'm actually part of a slimming group who meet weekly to get weighed and confess their syns.

I'm not sure how to get over this, without constantly telling myself I'm on a diet - which I tend not to, because I don't really feel like I am most the time anyway.

Maybe as I get nearer to target my attitude will change, we'll have to see. In the mean time, I'm hoping extra gym sessions and all the walking to and from uni will prevent me from gaining from my occasional 'diet amnesia'.
