I've definitely added more grain, fruits and veggies, and certainly limited my meat intake. Daily exercise. I've never driven a car, so I walk everywhere within distance to do so.
I too have struggled with weight my entire life. I finally found a way of eating that I like that is beneficial in more ways than one. It's easy to cut down on your fats. Eliminating red meat for me wasn't a big deal. I can still have my chicken and turkey!
I've lost a lot of weight and body fat eating this way since July of this year, and exercising. I don't find that I stray from the diet all that often (sometimes you have to allow a little treat to sneak in, but I'm pretty strict with what I eat).
I find I have a lot more energy and confidence at the end of the day. Like you said, eliminating the stress... and managing the diet and feeling good about myself is a part of that, and that also helps being positive
