It's tough for me to cut out foods entirely, unless they're poison (like soda). I've told my story SO many times, but I'll repeat it briefly. I was ultra-thin all of my life. After I had my children, I ballooned to a size 20. I went on many, many diets. I lost some, I gained some and then all back. I finally found a program that "clicked" for me, and this program took 3 tries to stick!! You have to be ready to understand it and apply it to your life. Eventually it becomes second nature.
I reached my goal and went from a size 20 to a size 2, in one year. I kept it off for a few years and kept going back for weigh-ins, when finally they asked me to be a counselor there. I agreed. I LOVED it. I went on to do sales for them and then got bored. But the point is that I reached my goal in early 2002 and have kept it off. It's normal to gain a little here and there (5 lbs or so), but you don't forget the crux of the program and you reel it in when you feel like it's getting out of control. Feeling good is very important to me.

In 2009 I went on a lifestyle change through Sparkpeople. And it was the Sparkpeople quick start that helped me...for a period of time make 5 goals you can stick with...and as you progress, build on those goals.
I cannot say, I've done real well with the weight loss , have regressed the past year or so...BUT can say with the changes, my body reacts differently to the 'bad' stuff. For example, before the change I drank 3 to 4 cans of Pepsi per day...I am down to maybe one a month, and usually only half a can at that. But I find that when I do indulge..1) it tastes awful, 2) my body reacts and lets me know it simply does not like this...from the caffeine giving me a rush I can feel, to the extra gurgling between my tummy and esophagus.
I find it does that when I have fried food also.
So, what I am trying to say, as you start this journey, it will be tough at first, but eventually the 'cravings' do stop and your body will love the healthier foods.
