You're not alone!
I think most people's experience is exactly that.
Diet and lose weight. Put it all back on. Rinse, repeat!
And yes, that's exactly been my experience too. So instead I'm trying to adopt healthy habits. Developing a liking for fruits and veggies I turned my nose up at in the past. Having soup regularly. Chewing more thoroughly. etc. etc.
Things that will stick with me my whole life, not just for a few weeks when I'm on a diet.
I've also found occasional fasting works to help break me out of bad habits. I don't mean the 5:2 diet, I mean proper water fasting.
I hope some of this helps you!
