I got here by losing about 120 pounds on an Atkins variation, gaining about 20 when I quit getting on the scales (getting married again made other things more important), losing about 40 on low cal/low fat and being hungry, losing another 30 or so on Atkins and PPLP.
It was that last stretch that did it. I finally admitted that I was having a hard time losing unless my calories were very low, and that I didn't feel good on a diet that was close to 100% protein and fat. So I decided to go with what, over the years before the obesity epidemic hit, is what the healthy people I knew ate: mostly veggies, sufficient protein, a carb side, occasional fruit, rare desserts, limited snacks. I'm not doing it to lose weight at the moment, just to achieve a normal relationship with food and to feel good.
I am trying to get to the point that I don't measure everything I eat and stop my fixations on food.
