Being in a hurry is the surest way to fail, and there are no shortcuts. Make gradual changes that you can stick with, and before you know it you will have made big changes and see real progress that isn't likely to be lost when you "stop dieting". Find physical activities that you love doing, and it will be so much easier.
This is great advice!
Yes it is! I just need to *digest* it and keep in my mind. This is exactly what I'm seeing a councilor for, because (thank God) I'm at least smart enough to realize that, sometimes, issues with food have nothing to do with food at all. In my case, it's all about control. :blushing:0 -

How many calories do you eat a day? In order to lose weight, I need to stick to about 1250
Do you eat back "exercise calories"? Some but not all
Do you allow yourself a cheat meal or cheat day? No - maybe I should? It would probably keep me on track since I fall off the wagon easily, unfortunately.
On average, how many calories do you burn per workout? Probably 300-400
What kind of workouts are you doing? How frequently? 4x/week cardio (spinning 60min, zumba 60min, elliptical 30min, or running 30min) and 3x/week weight training (30-45min).
How long has it taken you to lose your weight so far? Frankly it's not going so well because I have trouble sticking with the calorie restriction.0
