20. You’ve cut out all snacks.
This may make you hungrier and more prone to overeat. “Snacking helps you feel satisfied,” says Stopler. Good choices: baby carrots dipped in chive-flavored cottage cheese or salsa, a small can of low-sodium vegetable juice and pretzels, a single-serving low-fat pudding and two graham crackers.

21. You pick sorbet over frozen yogurt.
“Sorbet has just as many calories, and it lacks the calcium of frozen yogurt,” says a senior clinical nutritionist and exercise physiologist at New York University Medical Center.

22. You never drink a glass of water.
This will lead to dehydration, which can make you dizzy, tired and unable to think clearly. Also, you may mistake that thirst for hunger and overeat. Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.

23. You think sugar-free candy and desserts are better for your waistline.
“Sugar-free doesn’t necessarily mean calorie-free,” says a staff dietitian with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in Washington, D.C. Two sugar-free Fifty-50 Chocolate Flavored Chip cookies contain 86 calories, not much less than two Oreos.

24. Dessert is forbidden.
