If you are watching your weight and sometimes are tempted to "cheat", it is easy to see why. With the way advertisements are geared it's no wonder there is an obesity epidemic in the United States today.

Unfortunately, those ads can sabotage us when we're trying to stick to our diets. One effective advertisement and you can cost yourself too many calories or fat for the day, but more important is the mental damage it does when you decide to give up your whole diet just because you had one bad day

It takes a lot of conviction and a strong will to be able to turn the channel or drive past the fast food restaurant. You can do it minute by minute, day by day, it's the smaller changes and the steps made away from the snack bar that count.

Keep in mind that there is no truth in advertising at least when it comes to food. When was the last time your double cheese burger had the fresh fixings it does on TV?? It never does and after it's mashed around in the bag, it's hardly edible after that, the joy of the burger is gone.

Get it your way - Don't be afraid to ask for what you want or don't want. If you decide you need a burger, then order it with no cheese or mayo as an open-faced sandwich. A regular hamburger can satisfy your hunger and will have less fat.

If you use the drive-through, chances are you won't be as tempted as you are if you go inside. There are sights, sounds and smells that act as a mental stimulation and encourage us to sit and gorge on food. If we drive through and come home and eat, chances are we probably aren't going to even eat everything we bought.

Who can resist the smell of French fries? The mere mention is enough to kick start someone's salivary glands and make the mouth water. How can you NOT order fries with that shake and burger? By using the drive through, that's how.

Deliveries - If a restaurant delivers, use it to your advantage. You can plan what you want and order it without having to go to the establishment to see all of the tempting pictures on the wall. If they don't deliver, ask someone else to go get your food for you.

If we can take little extra precautions we may avoid putting yourself in a position in which we could be tempted to cheat. It's not easy to ignore all the food and goodies that we see thrown at us on a daily basis. It's hard to be on a diet, but the all the hard work is worth it when you stick to your plan.
