Is it normal to work out and procrastinate with dieting?

When I go to the gym my mind is set to eat healthy and avoid any foods which are not good for dieting. However, I find myself constantly procrastinating with going on a diet because I always end up eating delicious food such as spaghetti and meatballs or buffalo wings. I feel that sometimes I eat because it satisfies my craving and makes me happy. However, eating healthy has a very powerful effect on me because it makes me feel refreshed and very good. The problem is that I tend to get hungry and easily start cheating by eating things that are not good for a diet (cookies, chips etc.). I want to give up alcohol too but being that I haven't partied much and am 24 years old I feel that this will be a tough thing to stick to. Is it normal to work out hard at the gym and find yourself cheating on a "diet"?

    Instead of thinking of it as a "diet," just keep adding healthier foods to your fridge. Slowly start buying more healthier foods while weaning away from processed foods. Eventually, you'll overcrowd your bad choices with healthier ones.

    Also, as the old saying goes: don't go to the grocery store when you're hungry.

    there is food that is satisfying and healthy at the same time. Like avocados are, grass fed beef, don't eat fast food meat, watch the movie food inc if you wanna know why. fruit, veggies, organic is best, eat nuts, coffee with honey is good. you can be satisfied and eat healthy at the same time.

    Hey, I'm no expert or anything, but at least you are trying. Consistency is one of the best things I can suggest. Just keep on trying to eat healthy, and if you cheat every now and then that's ok. You're doing WAY better than a lot of people, trust me...
