The main thing for me, is just reminding myself constantly that going off track doesn't help me at all. I feel worse and it takes me further off track.

Doesn't always work so I would like other coping strategies too.

I know this may sound strange, but I have recently begun writing up a list of emotions I feel when I eat something that hinders my progress. I tend to write my emotions down soon as I've eaten and then after a few hours, I've got words such as guilt, neverending diet, depressed, unhappy, anxiety etc written down. When I feel like being naughty I read the list and it really does help me mainly because when I wrote down my emotions they were quite raw.
