I am applying to the original post.  I really feel you Hrafnhildur! haha, no but seriously I understand the struggle.  I have been veg for quite a few years now and initially I had lost some weight but I am still very overweight.  I have done it all when it comes to diets, exercises, etc.  With everything I have been though I have came to realize the main reason why I am overweight…it's because I love food!!  It doesn't matter if it's healthy food, raw food, junk food or whatever!  I love food and I eat to much of it.  My biggest obstacle is portion control.  Recently what has been helping me is an idea a got from a friend.  It's called batch cooking.  On a Sunday, you cook a good size healthy meal that is probably about 5-6 servings.  Buy some tupperware or gladware and use that to proportion your food for the week.  I find myself more inclined to eat it because I spent so much time to make it and it's already portioned for a single full serving.  So yeah, try it.  I am and so far it's working.
