For me, one of the biggest challenges of dieting is food displays. Whether it’s those luscious looking doughnuts where I buy my morning coffee – or the tempting candy bar display at the grocery checkout counter – bad foods are always in front of us. If you are especially hungry when you see those displays, the temptation to buy can be overwhelming.
Food displays can be one of the ultimate tests of willpower. Let’s break it down – one willpower hurdle at a time.
### **Battling the Chocolate Frosted Doughnut**
I haven’t had a doughnut for years, but I am always drawn to them. The doughnut that called to me the other day was not only chocolate frosted, but had some sort of chocolate cookie dough inside. And sprinkles on top. Be still my heart.
As with all willpower battles – there is a nanosecond of truth. The clerk may be looking at you as a calm person order- ing coffee, but a dieter’s inner turmoil when faced with an appealing – but lethally bad – food is tumultuous. In a split second, a dieter can take the high road “just coffee” or the failure road “and two of those doughnuts.”

## **14 Things that Could be Interferring with Your Success! **
[Here’s the deal around successful dieting](https://info.newhopesoap.com/blog/twelve-things-i-love-about-sticking-to-my-diet) – you either want to lose weight or you don’t. This is not complicated. If you keep making excuses, why are you bothering to even be on diet?
This is not about the big stuff (nutrition, exercise, motivation), but how to deal with diet faulty thinking. It’s a random list, but I suspect many dieters will quickly identify with these.
GOI stand for Get Over It. That means accept the fact that as a dieter, you have to make changes, whether you like it or not.
- ***Cheating (just a little). ***GOI! A lot of diets allow a cheat day – or a cheat meal – once a week. Personally, I think that’s ridiculous. You’re either in or out. And honestly, why offset a successful week of measurable weight loss with a night of beer and nachos?
- *** Deserving a treat. ***You’ve lost 20 pounds and feel you’ve earned a food treat. GOI. You do not deserve any kind of food for losing weight. You deserve a round of applause and a “well done” (okay, and maybe a new outfit) but you have not earned the chance to go off your diet with food. What are you thinking?!!

When I was a child, my mother always criticized those who chewed gum: “Like cows chewing their cuds,” she would say. So I grew up taking a dim view of “gum people,” especially those crass bubble blowers and gum smackers. Gross!
Sigh – if my mother could see me now. These days, I chew gum with the best of them.
Okay – I’ll back up and explain why a woman of my venerable years would take up gum chewing: It’s a way for me to deal with food grazing. Simply stated: It’s a lot more difficult to scoff up a broken cookie if you have to take gum out of your mouth to eat it.
