Thanks everyone! If I can do this, every one of us can do it. I've never been able to stay on a "diet". Part of it was I was always hungry, part of it was using food as a comfort, or a reward for doing good. I had to examine why I turned to food when I was stressed or upset, gave myself "time limits" where I would go eat something high in fat (cheese and such) and then later I wouldn't even be hungy. Sometimes I would mistake thirst for hunger, and taking a good swig or two of water would help.

Yep, the types and amounts of food was a problem, but the mental part I think was/is the most of it.

Stick with it!
