Need motivation
I'm 19, 5'8, and I weigh close to 180 pounds. I used to weigh around 200, so I've lost quite a bit. But I also used to weigh 150-- I had an eating disorder. I'm like up and down with weight and I hate it. How do I stay at a healthy weight, once and for all? Help!

Mental attitude is a big part of it. You have to be realistic with where you are at and where you want to go. Setting smaller, reasonable goals is a better strategy than setting one huge Do or Die goal.
Understanding that being healthy and fit is a lifestyle and not a passing fad or a hobby is another critical point. It's a 24/7 thing that you and you alone are responsible for maintaining.

Well try to do some form of exercise a day, even if it's for half an hour.
Eat healthily, 5 portions of fruit/veg a day.
Treat yourself to something sweet once a day, but that should be like ONE candy bar, or a ice lolly or a small bowl of ice cream.
If eating dinner, eat rice and fish, or replace chips with boiled potatoes. Eat chicken (try not to eat the skin) and also a lot of salad.
And instead of fizzy drinks, drink normal or sparkling water.
If you follow this for a couple of months, you will notice that you're loosing weight :)

First of all you have to stop making yourself think that you are bigger then what you really are.
Second, a half an hour of exercise a day (even if its just a walk) does absolute wonders.
Third, instead of eating chocoloate and lollies, have a piece of fruit.
Cut out the fats and replace them with yummy fresh fruit. Instead of having chips with your dinner, have veggies.
