cheering section

Over the last few days I have been trying to figure out why losing weight is so hard for me on my own. For the most part I know what I'm supposed to do and what I'm not supposed to do. It's better to snack on cherry tomatoes than on brownies. I get that. So why am I so dependent on encouragement from others? No one cheers me on when I brush my teeth, but I still do it because I know it's good for me. People don't pat me on the back for every little thing I do. So why don't I eat as well without the cheerleaders? Is it just the camraderie of people trying to do the same thing at the same time? Is it the peer pressure of knowing that someone else might look at my food journal? Why can I do what I need to do in all these other areas but not in this one unless I feel like there are others on my side? I don't get it. Thoughts?
