Creating new habits is hard at first, but once they are habits they become second nature.
Are you trying to do too much at once? How many pounds per week are you trying to lose?0 -

Not much information to go on. How low did your set your calories?0

To be 100% blunt- if you are that quick to throw in the towel, you likely won't succeed.0

Try it a little slower, you don't have to lose 2 lbs a week. You can go 1 lbs or even lower if you feel like you are starving yourself at this pace.
What makes it difficult for you?0 -
When you say give up, what does that mean?0

What are you finding hard? Counting calories? How many calories are you allowing yourself?0 -
Remind yourself of the potential consequences to your health if you give up. This is going to be a very long process, especially when you have a lot to lose, and you'll find moments that will bring you down all the time. The trick is to get back up and get going again.0

Aim to lose half a pound a week - that won't seem so hard. Start by not eating half the food on your plate. Wait 10 minutes before you start to eat the 2nd half and stop when you feel satisfied. Over time you may discover the first half was all you needed to feel satisfied. Be patient with yourself. It will take months to lose the weight it has taken you years to gain.0

When you decide to commit you'll do it and you'll learn how
Until you commit you will have issues
So work on your commitment
Why do you want to do this, what will happen if you don't0 -
If you count your calories you may learn something too0

You're goal to eat "healthier" is quite vague. Also, just choosing "healthy" foods is not necessarily going to help you loose weight. If it is weight loss you are after the best advice I can give is to enter all your stats into mfp (I think it asks for them when you register) and eat the number of calories it suggests. Weigh and measure absolutely everything that you eat. If you stay within the calorie allowance you will loose weight. I have list over a stone so far you do have to get a little obsessive but it works if you stick to it. It doesn't have to be"healthy" it just has to be within the allowance set for you. Feel free to have a look at my diary.0

You don't necessarily have to eat healthy to lose weight. You just have to eat less calories than you have to to maintain the weight you're at. I recommend using the calorie counting portion of the site. I eat mostly healthy, but it is mostly so I will get more food to eat since healthy food tends to be less calorie dense, but I still eat things I want every day. I still eat pizza, ice cream, chips, cookies, etc. I just don't eat loads of them all day every day. If you start counting the calories you will see that you can have those things as long as they fit into your calorie goal. Calorie counting can actually be less restrictive than just saying "I can only eat x y z". You can still gain weight on too much "healthy food" too.
You can do this!0 -
