I think that, for most people (me included), getting to grips with taking the emphasis off weight loss on to eating less, and subsequently not using scales to weigh myself and record losses, is very difficult.
I have been following Gillian's principles for some time now and know that a 'side effect' of doing so is weight loss because I am wearing a smaller size clothes now. However, the biggest plus for me is not having the usual dieting anxiety, you know, weekly weigh-ins, worrying about whether I've put on, eating less (or nothing!) on weigh-in day to try and get a loss, having a big meal or going to the chippy on the way home.... we've all done it

The continued analysis she does on research studies from around the world on issues relating to food and eating habits is enormously interesting, particularly that which covers the role of our brains when we eat. It has helped me to realise that our eating habits begin in our brains, and we need to find a way to change our brains in order to create better eating habits.
She has a website, eatingless dot com, and produces monthly newsletters which are free to read. They are really handy to dip into from time to time.
You have done incredibly well to turn your eating habits around, Tracy, and I wish you the very best of luck in your continued success. I love hearing about success like yours
