I agree a lot with what Buffy said above. I don't think diets work. I think you need to find something that works for you. What one thing can you do differently this week that you can stick to? Can you drink 4 glasses of water? Eat vegetables for dinner each night? Walk round the block for 5...

I try and have a bit of a structure to exercise, as it helps if it's non-negotiable - less wiggle room to get out of it. Of course, if I do have plans that clash then that's fine, but stops me making excuses needlessly. Monday: 20 minutes swim and 10 minutes stretching in sauna Tuesday: rest...
