Hiya Ouzogirl and welcome aboard.
Well you seem to know what works against you so now you have to take the bull by the horns and really stick to the program religiously and get rid of all the stuff that makes you cheat, chips and ice cream and treats, etc. etc.. That's easier to do if you're the only person in your household, a little more difficult with a hubby and kids, but that stuff isn't any good for them either so they should be rare treats anyway.
Frankenfoods are BAD, (for the most part) they say one thing on the wrapper but when you count up all the carbs, without excluding this or that (sugar alcohols) you'll see that the number is indeed higher. I know it tastes good, I got caught up in the Advantage bar thing and immediately stalled, whereas before discovering them I had been losing at a steady place.
It's best to eat pure foods, unprocessed meat and cheeses, eggs, veggies and some fruit, lots of water, some good vitamins and supplements and some exercise and you have a winning combination.
You'll derive from this plan what you put into it, if you are serious about losing weight then stick to the plan, if you want to lead a life of yo yo dieting then do what you had been doing before and that's about all the success you'll get out of it.
When you're feeling down or wanting to cheat, go read the success stories on here, you'll no doubt find the inspiration to stay on track.
Good luck to you on your journey.
