If you're like most people the start of a New Year is synonymous with the start of a new diet. Maybe you're the type that embraces the newest dieting fad or maybe you're the type that goes back to an old familiar diet that produced results for you in the past. Old, new or newfangled-any diet works if you follow it. The only problem is that something stops you from following it. Are you dieting without a safety net? Find out how to make your current diet foolproof.

When you're about to start a new diet, you do many things. You read all the material. You pay your dues or buy your book. And you make sure you have all the right foods and beverages in your house. These are great steps but you also need to plan for how you're going to weather the emotions that dieting trigger. Dieting, alone, is nearly impossible because diets kick up your issues. You might feel deprived or jealous of what others can eat. To diet with a safety net means to plan for the emotional journey, too. Here are three ways that you diet with a safety net.

1. Enlist the help of a friend. Don't just go on a diet together. Set a time when you will talk everyday (or at least a few times a week) where you can honestly share the emotional issues that arise for you when you stick to an eating plan. You don't have to fix it, you just have to listen to each other.
2. Join a support group or see a therapist. Studies indicate that getting therapeutic help while on an eating regime vastly improves your success.
3. Join the Shrink Yourself program. The 12-week online program gives you the support you need to succeed on any diet you choose. Take the Dieter's Profile to see how we can help you with the emotional side of things.

It's normal to start a diet with the New Year but be sure that you've got a safety net. While you're watching your belly, someone needs to be watching your back.
