Amitsa - I too am on a weight loss journey. It is a journey and not a race. It also is better to make lifestyle changes over going on a diet. It is easier to make a lifestyle change too. I personally have gone on Weight Watchers and I know that they are available world wide, at least online. They are proven a solid program and it does work for most people, especially those with food issues. I also have found a workout regimen that works for me and it is water aerobics. It is easy on the joints, the sweat is unnoticeable, and it is highly effective. By making these 2 changes, I have lost almost 30 lbs over the past few months.

I know that this is a difficult journey but to make gradual changes and make better choices always brings about some positive result. Also, you might consider if there is an underlying reason why you are the way that you are. Sometimes there is situations of abuse, self loathing, or other negative forces that lay under the problems you have with food.
