Why is it so hard for me to stick to a diet?

It can be hard to stick to a diet because dieting can encourage a black and white mindset- this means that you're either trying to be 'good' and eat perfectly in accordance with your weight loss plan, or you're being 'bad' and eating exactly how you please, perhaps mindlessly making poor food choices and overeating.

Why is my weight loss not consistent?

Unless your weight has been stuck at the same point for more than 1–2 weeks, you probably don't need to worry about anything. A weight loss plateau may be explained by muscle gain, undigested food, and fluctuations in body water. If the scale doesn't budge, you might still be losing fat.
