    This. So weight loss goes slower......the goal is to BE a healthy weight, not just get there once.
    Only follow a program that you can envision following for the rest of your life.

    Being healthy is the most important thing.
    No matter how much control you feel never let it be able the numbers, it's about how you feel, how you get through life, and how well you can create a positive lifestyle. Don't let it be about happiness or being thin. Please don't make mistakes like I did.

    Forgive yourself - don't let the voice in your head be hateful. You *do* deserve health and happiness.

    If you have a lot to lose, instead of saying 100 pounds, set a 5 or 10% goal. They're much more realistic and you get that much more motivated when you hit a mini goal!

    Stop telling yourself your fat.

    That's how I was able to start losing, and how I've come this far.

    Eat dinner off a smaller plate so you automatically eat smaller portion sizes. If you have a bigger plate, you will put more food on it and chances are you will keep eating once you're full just because it's there

    Sorry I have to throw in another one - eat slowly and chew your food properly. It takes 20minutes for you to feel full!
