Yo-yo dieting - how do I stop this cycle?

I woke myself up snoring this morning. Opened my eyes to find DH staring at me in disgust. I have hit rock bottom and am the heaviest I have EVER been.

Today I take back control.

The problem is, I know I can do this. I have done this, more times than I care to mention. I am 48 and I went on my first diet at the tender age of 20 when I really really didn't need to. Over the years I have tried them all, and mostly successfully - Cambridge diet, Scottish Slimmers, Slimming World, Weight Watchers, LCHF. Last year I did lowcarb bootcamp with the fabulous BIWI - it was great - I lost loads. And today I am 7 pounds heaver than when I started that.

I have repeatedly lost weight only to gain it again, and more besides. I am so disgusted with myself that I am now facing this mountain yet again.

For today, my first steps will be to get back on MFP and track what I eat. And to do a menu plan and do a sensible food shop. I have a gym membership, walk the dogs every day and work part time, so I have time to plan and time to work out. Trouble is my weight is now so high that it's giving me back and knee issues.

How do I change my attitude & mindset so that this time it stays off?

I would really appreciate any tips from anyone out there who has successfully beaten the yo-yo.
