I'm another one who likes the charts and things. My new chart is nice and simple, just a few spaces for the date, how much water I drank, did I have all my rations and a nice space for a sticker if I've been good. Oh yes.....my beloved sticker. I can't cope for a week at a time before being rewarded....so I use stickers.
I may respond like a 5 year old, but it works for me!
Mini goals are a great idea, just working out how often you need to be rewarded is tough.....as I say, I need something every day!! lol.
Restarting is very very hard, you need to think of something to make it fresh and new again to you. It won't have the same first time feeling anymore.
Difficult......but can be done! get yourself an iron will and get past the first week - then its business as usual.
