Most of the people who lose weight, gain it back. I have lost 15% weight twice and have gained it back.

I found this interesting article which talks about it: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/12/151201093606.htm

We think weight loss is all about diet and exercise. They are important but there is one more component, emotion! It applies to many of us. I remember eating a super large cup of ice-cream after having an argument with my boss.

The key to "long term" weight loss is to realize food is not the coping mechanism for stress and negative emotion. In a way not to have emotional attachment to food. It doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy food. We should, but we need to be conscious and try not to over eat/eat unnecessarily because of emotional reasons.
