Hey listen it's great that you're so determent to lose weight and if you think that's the way to success then power to you.
But I would just like to touch what I think is something more serious underneath it. It's not about being thin, but being healthy. The sad thing is that most people think that to lose weight they need to go by some "regime" as if living in some totalitarian state, but the truth is it's just about not eating junk food - juices, cookies, chips, pancakes, candies. That's most of it: not eating junk. There is some food that sneaked in like bread, I mean bread is really fattening, unless it's whole grain.
But let's go back to the dark side. If you have issues and problems in your life you're obviously eating junk food to get some sort of pleasure of sugar rush for few minutes or few seconds in order to fell better. Like you did previously with smoking and when you stopped smoking you substituted it with eating and now you'll cripple yourself to stop eating, but the issues and problems in your life are still left undealt and how do you think they will manifest themselves next?
Or maybe I'm wrong, because after all I don't know you.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
