Maintenance support thread? Yo-yo dieter hoping to maintain this time

I went on my first diet 50 years ago at the age of 9, and I've dieted and over-eaten in cycles ever since. As an adult my weight has fluctuated between around 9 stone and 15 stone. I'm currently 10 stone after a successful weight loss plan and I want to stay there. I had a maintenance plan all worked out and I swore that this time round was going to be different.

But it's not. I'm already off the wagon, a month into what should be a long-term maintenance plan, and I'm struggling to get back on. I'm beginning to despair and feel like once again there's nothing I can do to stop the weight coming back on. It's like there's a monster inside me demanding food. Loads of food.

Anyone else maintaining, either successfully or not, and wanting mutual support?

What's your plan and are you able to see where/why it's not working for you?

I've maintained successfully for over a year. This is the first time I've managed it after years of being various weights.
I do it by being quite strict on work days and more relaxed on days off.
