    By bad eating habits, you mean overeating right? You don't have to give up anything to lose weight, just eat at a deficit.

    there is some really good advice in this thread :) For me I started slowly and not making any massive changes overnight, that way I did not feel like I was depriving myself, cutting out one thing at a time, so I cut down the number of takeaways I was buying, and then the next month, I started cooking meals from fresh (it makes it easier to cut out calorie dense foods if you know whats going in to your foods) I then replaced soda's with diet soda, then reduced the number of sweet snacks I was eating. over a period of about six months I gradually shifted from having very unhealthy diet to eating well.

    Replace some of the junk food with veggies to bulk things up. 200 calories of Pop Tart is, well, one Pop Tart. 200 calories of broccoli and cauliflower will take you a while to get through!

    That doesn't mean you can never have Pop Tarts, of course. But if you want to feel more physically full, replacements like that for part of your day are great.

    Of course, now I want a Pop Tart. :) Strawberry iced, please!
