That's all. The rest is up to each person to make the commitment to themselves to do it. I've finally after a lot of years struggling with a bunch of things have made that commitment. And guess what? It's working.

I decided I no longer give a **** about urges or triggers etc. I decided that *I* am the one in charge of myself, not these urges everyone talks about. And... if you (as in anyone) follows the plan daily (and it's not a rigorous plan either, in fact you end up eating more frequently) and sticks to it for life you (as in anyone) will A) lose weight at a healthy rate, and B) keep that weight off.

Now if you don't mind I have some raw baby carrots and grapes to munch down as my pre-dinner snack...
In a round about way I think you kind of prove my point. You finally got to a place where your desire to be healthy and lose weight overtook your urges and triggers and you were able to conquer them and make long term changes in your life.

All I am saying is that if a person is 200 pounds overweight there is likely a bigger story to it than just the fact that they eat poorly. If they don't deal with those non-food problems they will never be able to fix their food problems.
