I've gained some weight over the past half a year thanks to being lazy, drinking too much and more recently going on holiday, but I'm having real trouble losing it again. I really only want to lose about 4 or 5 kg, just so I can get back to the way I was, but my willpower is just awful...I'll start trying to cut down my daily calorie intake, but it will go out of the window after a few days, until I start feeling down again and then criticise myself for not being able to stick to it. I'm not overweight, but I'm really short and so I feel like it's extremely obvious 
When I'm at uni I have a sports pass, so I'm able to use the gym for free, but I can't afford private membership and so have failed to do any proper exercise all summerI think my diet is, on the whole, fairly healthy, but I have a huge appetite and always have trouble trying to control myself...I know if I pause and resist having a second helping of food, I will feel full pretty soon and won't need it anyway, but the temptation is too great. Also, often socialising with my friends involves a meal, and then everyone gets desert, and I find it so difficult to refuse, as telling them I'm trying to lose weight will provoke a response where they tell me not to be silly and I end up being convinced to order a huge ice cream!
Any helpful advice or tips people are able to offer would be much appreciated...as my previous attempts to lose some weight have failed, I guess I'm going about it in the wrong way..
Thanks x
