I have struggled with my weight since I was a teenager. I have done every diet there is and something I have learned is that commitment is only a very small part of healthy living and weight loss. The same goes for willpower. Choosing a lifestyle that I can maintain has worked for me in the past very successfully.
The big problem with dieting and weight loss for me at least, is being hungry and always feeling like I am missing out or deprived. So the way I chose to go was low carb high fat. We eat the most delicious meals cooked in butter and cream. Bacon and eggs is a staple in my house. It works for me. I hardly ever get hungry. Sometimes I even forget to eat. Where in your life does a dieter "forget" to eat? I have no need for junk or snacks.
My life did get a bit derailed this year. I was retrenched and my dad died which were both very traumatic and emotional experiences which sent me straight back to my old ways of emotional and binge eating and drinking. I picked up a ton, but I am back on track now. When I weigh 71.1 I will record a journal entry again. It's not far off. Christmas Lunch is going to be delicious, but, I will not allow the hols to derail me.
Wishing you all the very best, and hoping that you will get yourself and your family on track with a plan you can all sustain.
