Yes, there will be a lot of people in this predicament right now,, and probably a lot of these people were in the same position last year, the year before, and the year before that. I guess you need to find the right motivation that will make your intentions stick.

I was about one and a half stone overweight earlier in the year, but I’m back in the middle of my normal weight range now - I stopped snacking and eating large amounts of chocolate. The “driver” this time was my physical health. My cholesterol went up a bit, and this worried me to the extent it kicked in more long term self-control this time.

Wishing you a happy new year.
