It's true that strict diets cause more problems in the long run. Dieting simply doesn't work. What does work is simply reducing the amount of food to begin with, just a little, and then making choices in everything we eat. 'Do I want it'? Yes or no?
If the answer is yes, eat it, if it is no, forget it and get on with what you were doing. Spending too much time thinking about food causes us to become anxious, 'should I shouldn't I?
Eat moderately to begin with, have a plan on how you would like to look eventually and do some activity.
A ten minute walk each day to begin with could lead to a thirty minute walk eventually. A slow walk can lead to a brisk walk that gets your heart racing eventually.
Once you have made up your mind to get some weight off, stop thinking you can do it very quickly. You know full well that you will only put it back on if you starve or go on very low calorie diets.
Make a long term plan of say a year, and imagine how you would like to be thinking and feeling, both on the inside and outside too, so mentally and physically in fact.
