How many times have I been resolutely sticking to my diet when I slip up by eating a cookie, or two?  Then, I start beating myself up, and I eat a few more.  Then, I rationalize that, oh well, doesn’t matter, might as well eat a few more.  Before I know it, I’ve completely backslid.  Does that sound familiar?

Dr. Michelle Segar has a PhD in Psychology and Human Behavior.  Her work has made her an acknowledged expert on the very specific topic of midlife women and health, weight loss, and exercise.  She has developed a program for midlife women that actually works.  Here she shares the psychology of backsliding and what you can do to prevent it!
