if you deprive yourself you are setting up yourself for a failure

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

ok, what are you bingeing on? Don't make that a taboo food while you're dieting. Anything you totally deprive yourself of will just grow in it's importance until you can't stand it anymore and binge on it.
Let's say you're bingeing on chocolate. Wouldn't you feel less guilty losing a little less weight in a week because you had a little piece of chocolate everyday than you would if you lost all the weight in a week you had planned on but gained it all back when you binged?

The important thing when putting a diet together to lose weight is to make it something manageable, something that can be a lifestyle change instead of something you dread having to figure out and stick with. Just try to make subtle changes once a week and stick with them, that way it doesn't seem so drastic and a little easier to stick with. It's also important to allow yourself an occasional "cheat" food so that you don't totally cut yourself off from some of the things you love.
