Getting to the bottom of your eating habits is key to developing a longer-term solution.
I had several lightbulb moments when on the drastic diet two years ago (One was the unearthing of a incident in my early teens - in the days when I was string bean - when I was mistaken for a boy at an athletics meet. Though I didn't realise it until two years ago, at that age, this had a very deep impact on me and one of my mental battles has been a fear of losing so much weight that somebody could possible do that again. Stupid, I know, but a revelation nonetheless).
Given that I put the weight back on, I didn't identify sustainable resolutions to my over-eating but it was still good to understand some of the drivers towards my attitudes to food:-)
