I think I have tried just about everything to lose weight in my life. Some have worked, some have not. But the one thing I discovered for myself is that to KEEP the weight off requires a change in LIFESTLYE. Without it becoming a natural part of your life you will never stick with it. That means taking SMALL steps. A dramatic change doesn't last because it's just too much, too soon. For myself, whenever I start getting those thoughts in my mind that say, "Oh no, not THIS again. This stinks. This tastes terrible. Who needs this?" And on and on... When I start getting those thoughts, I know the fad I'm currently on is not going to last much longer. What has worked for me over the years and continues to work are the small tips that I have discovered that are not hard, boring, or tasteless. Only the things that don't cause my mind to revolt are the ones that seem to last.
