Weight loss - My top most desire

Losing weight is my top most desire these days. I want to lose some 10 to 15kgs and go back to how I used to look like in my college days - Slim!! I really don't know how to do it. I tried dieting and exercise in full swing. Different diets, different exercises, shortcuts, trying to improve metabolism.... My issue like so many other around me is doing the program for long. I am not sure if I lack motivation or dedication to the cause. Nothing is working and I don't see any improvement fast enough for me to see and I lose interest in continuing. I do know that I may have to sustain my efforts to reach my required results... But alas!





I was thinking why I don't lose weight even when I exercise or diet and found an article:

6 common reasons why we don’t lose weight
Many of our social interactions include food.
Restaurants portions have increased (particularly fast food).
We are less active than in the past.
We find it unacceptable to be hungry.
We misunderstand how weight is maintained.
We forget the extra food we eat everyday, or we think we ate less than we did.
It’s also important to remember that when we consume fewer calories we have a tendency to be less active, which probably stems from our biological programming to preserve body weight for survival.

Hmm...! What do you say?
I think the main reason why I don't lose weight is because I'm not really ready to do this. May be, I don't want it so desperately and is not ready to do everything needed to achieve this goal. It may not be really true!! No... I want it... Overweight makes me sad... I hate it... I don't like my pictures taken... I don't people asking me to lose weight! But then, what is preventing me from going all out and doing everything it takes me to do it? I really don't know.

But then, here I'm deciding to do everything I can to lose weight. It's my promise to myself.
