This past year I've gone back and forth on weight loss/gain. Working on various systems and trying to understand my issues so that I could find something that would help me not only lose what I want, but to stick to that weight for my entire life.

Now getting to the point of the post, I was reading about this and found it to be similar to what has been working for me these last three weeks (except on this vacay where I gained 3lbs.) I've found that I had to preplan my entire day of diet/exercise, and write down how I was feeling at each point of the day. Things like "this breakfast food wasn't very filling for the calorie count" or "this lunch didn't give me the same energy I needed to complete my workout goals." Journaled all of my physical and mental stuff after all meals/exercises, and now I've found a certain plan that is not only comfortable enough for me to follow, but also effective enough to lose the weight I want off my body.

It's tough, and I have so much longer to go. This has been worked on for six months now, and I'm really hoping it's the thing I needed to seriously get where I want to go without any more roadblocks.

Good luck.

Thanks Syn, I used to make light of weight loss. I don't think I could have known how some people feel till I struggled myself.
