    Dieting can be frustrating. So let me say this, and I am not trying to be mean, but diets typically result in the old weight Yo-yo. If you want to take it off and keep it off, think of the changes you are making as a lifestyles change, and not a diet.
    Now trust me we all get frustrated from time to time, but remember where you started, and remember that you are not alone But also remember most of us did not put the weight on overnight, so unfortunately it normally does not come off overnight either. But if you set reasonable goals, and work at making changes it will happen!!!!!

    Amen man, amen!

    For me personally, what has both worked for me and been easier to do is to make a change ( a single change) and then hold onto that change until it's the new normal. Then , I make another change. rinse and repeat.

    So far, I've made lots of changes to my lifestyle, but spreading them out this way makes the entire process feel more natural. Also, when I have bad days, I can now say "that was the old habit, just a temporary fluke" and go right back to the new way of doing things.

    I've realized that it's not about focusing on the weight loss, for me it's about focusing on the way I live, and the weightloss happens naturally as a byproduct of the new way I'm living. When I change the way I live, my body changes shape, and the weight can't HELP but come off. It can't stay the same, it's simply not possible.
