Tip number two is, when you go off the rails, enjoy every bite of what you’re eating. Leave your conscience at home and savor every morsel of that pizza, every taste of that ice cream. Be extremely present with your food. There’s nothing more counterproductive than deciding to have something you have been wanting but know is not in your best interest to eat and wolfing it down without being mindful of it.

If you’re good most of the time, you can do this and get right back on track, so enjoy every bite!
