The BEST advice I can give to everyone is to stop "dieting" or thinking of "losing weight". (both bad words). What you need to do is incorporate exercise and eating sensibly into your life forever. Stop obsessing about your "weight" and "diet". Do like I did to lose my weight, just gave up and starting my new life exercising everyday and eating right. I felt clear in my body. I still eat junk in moderation.(when I feel a craving I eat a little piece and then drink some water and go outside and walk). I lost a lot of weight in only 5 mos. I feel good in my new body. It feels good to be able to run and not get out of breath. It feels good to know my health is not at risk. My depression is almost gone, and my social anxiety is too.
