Diet programs all profess to have the magic formula for weight loss: simply eat a certain way and drop ten pounds in a week. But what do you do when your plans fall apart—your mother-in-law bakes you a surprise birthday cake. Stress at work leads to binge-eating peanut butter and chocolate. A painful breakup causes your diet to go out the window. The truth is, losing and keeping weight off is extremely difficult, especially when unexpected challenges arise. But these very problems are the surprising solution to lasting weight loss. By identifying the most common traps—stress and emotional eating; friends and family pressure; and holiday, travel, and special occasion meals—and then developing actionable escape plans that address each potential diet disaster, anyone can lose the weight they want and keep it off.
