Wait a few months?

Darlin', you have a BMI of 51. Odds are good you've dieted your way up to that weight. With a BMI that high, I'm guessing you have about 150 pounds to lose.

People who manage to lose 50 pounds through traditional 'diet and exercise' have about a 25% chance of keeping it off for five years. If they lose 100,the odds go down to about 4%. Do you REALLY want to waste more time repeating what hasn't worked in the past?

It's not a question of getting rid of bad eating habits. That's called a diet, and we've all done that, lost some weight, regained it plus some. Most of us have some physiological reasons for our weight, and the more times we lose and regain, the worse those problems become.
