I think the thing lacking from most goal oriented plans (diet, exercise, health goals) is the willpower. You really need to spend some time alone with yourself and understand what your goals are and why you want to achieve them. Sometimes you need to remember your goals when you feel weakest (when you want to stray from the plan). Some people carry a talisman to look at when they feel weak (a lucky rabbit's foot, a fat photo of themselves, etc.). Other people say that smell linked memory is the best way to bring back willpower when you need it (www.everoma.com has such products). In the end though, if you have the willpower, the rest will fall into place.
