Don't try to change too many things, too much, too quickly.

Plan your meals. Eat food you like. Make room for treats regularly. Or if you don't really care for sweets, don't buy them, they are not essential.

Make exercise part of your daily life. You decide how; I walk a lot.

Weigh yourself every day.

Pick up a calculator. Estimate how many days you'll reasonably need to lose the weight you want to lose (take into account the loss slowing down as you approach goal weight, and that weight loss is not linear and not 100% predictable, this is just a way to train your brain). Look at a calendar and find which day that would be. Mark that date in the calendar. Tell yourself this: if I follow my plan every day, at that date I will be at goal weight.

Then the hard work begins. Maintenance is not for the pusillanimous
