It's been a good six weeks

I’ve became serious about this one in late September. All I have done is to make small adjustments to my eating habits, and I have been able to lose an average of a pound per week since then.
Changes include cutting out orange juice with breakfast, limiting the size of lunches, taking only a single helping of dinner (but a generous one), and not snacking after dinner. I have also tried to drink a minimum of one litre of water per day.
I weight myself daily, but don’t get bent out of shape if I go up on any particular day. The important think is for there to be a downward trend.
In the past, I have lost large amounts of weight with the Atkins Diet, only to put it back on again. Any diet is hard to stay on because, though they might be scientifically balanced, they are not affectively balanced. You always feel deprived, limited, or controlled. Perhaps, for me, weight loss is tied into emotional control and the need to be the one steering the car.
