Mental and Physical Weightloss

My weightloss jouney is far from over, but what I have learned is diets suck.  In my opinion the best way to loose weight continuously and keep it off is to eat in a way you can eat for the rest of  your life.  Meaning, I can take the italian sausage out of my speghetti and replace it with chicken breats and be ok with that.  If I choose to have a taste of sausage I can return to my regular healthy routine and not feel like I'm missing something.  I cook with light butter, but I spread with real.  When I'm out to dinner I eat steak, but I cook with fish more often.  Healthy changes you can live with vs. a diet are a much smarter way to go for long term success. 
Just thought I would share!!! :)
