and I'm hoping for the more permanent changes.

Two things actually.
I went on Atkins, so I cut out sugar and grains and went to fresh, whole foods instead of prepackaged crap. As a result I'm not as hungry and I feel full faster. I'm not having cravings anymore. It makes it much easier to stick to the plan.
I finally made the mental shift from thinking in terms of "diet" to "lifestyle". I am no longer on a diet, I'm not looking to the end of it. I'm eating in a way which I believe is healthiest for my body and I intend to eat this way forever. The weight loss is sporadic, but it does keep going down, I figure if I keep doing this my body will eventually settle at the weight where it should be.
Okay, a third: I'm learning to listen to my body, eat when I'm hungry (but not when I just "feel like" eating), stop when I'm satisfied (but not stuffed).

I joined weight watchers and I jot down everything I eat. This has helped me keep an eye on how much I have eaten and how much I have to complete my points for the day. I used to be a snacker but with this system I have dramatically improved my overall eating habits.

I used to drink pop all the time like up to 6 cans a day...and a month ago I just quit and now I drink alot of water...I feel awesome that I did it and accomplished something like that......Theres still pop in my house but its not for me and sometimes I have cravings but I fight them and cutting out pop has helped so much I've lsot a little weight (only 2pds but still) and I seem to have more energy and Its gotten me motivated to cut out junk food all together!! :)

making sure I cut up lots of veggies so that it's become a really easy habit to have a big salad before every dinner.

When my best friend's father died from his bad eating habits and poor exercise habits. We were like family, so I knew i had to learn from losing someone so close to me.
