And now that i have had my little rant......here is my advice - as a person who has struggled with weight loss also.....

Change one habit at a time....and do the easy ones first....ie;

Stop eating after dinner, do that for several months...as long as it takes to feel like you no longer want to eat in the evenings (eat fruit at first if you really have to have something) and then start having two large glasses of water with a half a lemon squeezed each, fifteen minutes before breakfast each day. do this for as long as it takes to become habit - a month, two months...three, however long it takes. then focus on your breakfast...most importantly, make sure you have some.....make it a good meal with some protein (eggs or a bit of bacon maybe) but no margarine or sugar.....do this until it is habit............live by the saying "eat like a king in the morning and a pauper at night" etc etc, this sounds like a slow process but it is effective and takes no more time than the continual yo yo dieting we are all familiar with. As you lose weight you will naturally have more energy and find yourself engaged in more physical activity.

Also I highly recommend the book "Liver Cleansing Diet" by Dr Sandra Cabot.......it has recipes and such, which personally i don't care for as I don't like "rabbit food", but it gives realistic and informed information on how the body functions and the requirements to use this to your advantage in the area of weight loss.
