I lost a lot because I started taking dancing classes (which I love) at the same time my doctor thought I might have PCOS and be diabetic. I also was scheduled for gallbladder surgery. I HAD TO watch fat otherwise I would get pain, and I HAD TO watch sugar otherwise I'd feel awful and headachey and I didn't want to turn into a full-blown diabetic requiring needles. Turns out wasn't diabetic, but I noticed my mood improved with avoiding simple sugars anyway (makes sense).
I could summarize my success with: consciously eat small meals. BIG POINT: **Every time you are about to eat something, ask yourself if you actually feel hungry and need food?** If the answer is yes, then have a small meal or snack. If not, don't. I didn't deny much, just reduced my simple sugars. I had to stop buying chips because 1 bag disappears quickly. Keep relatively healthy granola bars with you (or make your own) so you can snack if you get hungry when it's inconvenient to eat. If you do order out, order a burger without sauce, and no fries. Diet drink. Or order a kid's meal. I did this on occasion when I was in Weight Watchers, and it still fit into the plan!
After supper, try not to eat anything. If your stomach is growling before bed, have a small snack, wait 20 minutes, then go to bed. If your stomach feels funny but isn't growling, just go to bed.
Eat *something* for breakfast! Even if it means a small serving of oatmeal, a banana, or a glass of milk.
I discovered I like spinach a lot better than lettuce. I like fresh baby peeled carrots. I still didn't eat as much vegetables as I should, so I used a multivitamin.
If you splurge on something like junk food, count it as something towards your meal (i.e. eat less at your next meal because of it). Treats aren't extras you can have on top of your meals. Treat them as any other calorie!
If exercise isn't your thing, find something that doesn't feel like exercise. That's a reason dancing works well for me. I take the bus a lot, so I will also check the bus schedule on my cell phone see how much time I have. I start walking down the route until my bus comes. I go swimming when it's hot outside or when I have a sore back. I like swimming because I don't get overheated when I do it.
Try to do the best you can to find more vegetables and fruit you like and eat them, but simply reducing calories goes a long way too. Take a multivitamin, and watch your iron levels.

Remember that there are a lot of fruits and vegetables that are uncommon. You can try them raw or cook them in many of the different ways possible. Yogurt smoothies are great and all you have to do is put stuff in a blender.
You can try different dips and dressings to see if that helps.
Or you can put them in breads and cakes. Banana or Zucchini bread is good. Carrot cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, or anything.
Do you like applesauce?
Some people suggest mixing the fruit or vegetable with things you do like.
Avoid fast food and order salad dressings on the side. Don't forget exercise but that's a separate issue.
Good luck.

I uncooked feed either one of my puppies. I'm rather new to uncooked feeding, however had been discovering it for a at the same time. When you are speaking approximately by means of-merchandise in dog food, the ones aren't toes, organs, and so forth. They are speaking approximately hair (which Patient Paws stated), feathers (stress-cooked with steam till forming a gel), or even blood-soaked sawdust from a meatpacking flooring. Some business puppy meals additionally include the equal element determined in clay kitty clutter! There is not anything fallacious with a puppy consuming toes or organs, and even chook backs and neckbones! My puppies occur to LOVE pigs toes. Organs are particularly wealthy in vitamins and minerals and are honestly very well in your pets.

Just eat only complex carbs, lean meat, and lots of veggies. It will make your meals low caloried and yet filling and healthy.
Vegetables are nice if you know how to cook them.
