No worries zee-man, thanks.Some of your suggestions were implemented from the beginning and they work great for me specifically. My snack food has been replaced with carrots and low fat dip. There are a few times when I've said "screw it" and had a couple meals which were garbage. No big deal.
One thing I'm learning this time around is attitude and frame of mind is really working to my advantage. I'm not pressuring myself to lose the weight and I'm doing it casually. I'm not worrying myself about calories per day or burned or if I'm not burning enough when i go for a run. I've also been keeping busy around my usual "snack" times and not thinking about food. Changing and forming new habits. Keeping myself mentally busy is preventing me from becoming physically lazy. Many of the negative thoughts which typically intrude my mind are being kept at bay while a more positive attitude is supplanting it.

Weight loss tip of the day:
A possible misconception about weightloss is you have to eat "rabbit food" 24/7. Not everyone is a salad person. Finding ways of incorporating more fruit and veggies into their lifestyle is a fine way to go. Recipes/meals which are heavy in protein(grilled, not fried) and veggies work wonders without having to eat something which doesn't taste or look appetizing.
