The first place to start is with your beliefs. Your ability to eat in a way that supports your body all starts in your mind.
Right now, your mind is more interested in keeping you off a diet.
It usually has a very clever strategy of telling you that you should or need to diet.
Yet, at the same time your food and weight seem out of your control.

However, it is powerful, so you have to understand that or your doomed to keep repeating the same cycle every day, week, month, or even years.
