Healthy habits: If you focus on healthy habits, which will become part of your life in the future, is the only way to loose and keep off extra weight. Exercise daily, eat mindfully, focus on unprocessed foods, skip sugar and white carbs and eat low fat dairy and meat. Avoid bringing home foods that were past triggers. Don't deprive yourself of favorites but eat them in small amounts outside of your house.
