Hi - I lost 100lbs last year and some of the best things that worked for me are:
- Like has been said above, eat veg instead of other foods, and try to fill up on them so you aren't hungry for junky foods.
- Brushing my teeth or chewing mint gum instead of eating
- Regular, simple exercise [like walking for 15 mins-half an hour each day more than you normally do.
- Taking everything slowly
- Even if you don't lose weight immediately, you will eventually so keep that in mind
- Don't obsess with your final
goal, set yourself stages
- Drink loads of water for many reasons - good for metabolism, exercise and makes you feel more positive so you are less likely to feel bad and eat junk.
Those are a few of the things that helped me along the way - hope they are of use to you or anyone else reading - good luck.
