Convince yourself that you really, really want it.

Every day/night, spend 30 minutes sitting alone in a quiet space, emotionally involved in how much you want to lose weight.

Then during the day -- and this is important -- don't fight the urge to eat. At all. Just live your life.

Once your daily meditation/prayer/yearning starts to take hold, you will automatically start making better choices.

This advice goes for anything you want to change about yourself. You have convince the part of your brain that runs your life moment-to-moment that you want to behave differently. And the only way to do it is by getting that part of your brain to understand how much you want it. You have to prove it by going emotionally deep over and over and over.
