There's nothing wrong with you that isn't also wrong with about a billion people.
Fatty food makes you feel good. It sends a quick burst of sugar to the brain and makes you feel high. It's like a drug. It's also an emotional comfort zone. Rather than face what's really going on, eat a cupcake - it'll make you feel better.
Start thinking about how you want to feel when you are skinny - not the way you will look or the number on the scale. How will you feel? What will you do? Get that it your mind, and if you need to - put a photo of yourself at 59kg on your fridge (there is a photo of myself with an extra 25 pounds on my freezer - really, this works!) to keep you from slipping up.
I'm definately a goal driven person. I hated to exercise, but then I signed up for a charity 5K for cancer research and gave myself 3 months to train for it. That worked like a charm. It got me out exercising 4 times a week, and when I was done with the race I had an exercise habit established.
Focus on your habits. Don't buy the foods that will trigger binging. You can do it... but it is hard work, and it is a very emotional experience. If you can do it, you will really get a lot out of the journey. Good luck!

There's nothing wrong with you. You're probably too conscious of being on a diet which makes your body feel deprived all the time. You don't need to get on the exercise equipment to lose weight, there are basic alternatives for that. You can do sports or just walk around the park, mall, etc. everyday for a few hours and eat portion meals. The process is slower, but hey, at least works! =)

it is the diet - i have started a half assed low carb diet because the full atkins diet was too hard. I still don't eat bread but every couple of days eat nectarines to stop that fruit craving - problably once a fortnight have a pie or similar. Lost 5 kgs in 3 weeks and don't crave for carbos. Walk about 7km 4 times a week. I think it is a good long term diet that is easy to maintain

Commit yourself! Um...you see, there's three things you should know when going on a diet. You should have determination, self-control, and patience. You can do it! Go!

Lack of commitment and will power -
