Not nearly as tough as smoking or alcohol or whatever, but one day about a year & a half ago, I woke up & basically said "This is enough, it's time for a change." Started by stopping drinking anything with caffine in it and decided to start living better. From there, I started to gradually cut out stuff like sweets and foods that just are really bad for you...
At the beginning of this year, I had lost over 50 pounds just from that (without much exercise other than walking to & from class) and since then have lost another 20 or so from getting back to working out. I'm still not to where I want to be, but I'm in a lot better shape than I was even 6 months ago.
My best advice would be to:
1) Set some goals that are attainable, not too easy, but not impossible.
2) Write down said goals, put them somewhere that you'll look at often.
3) Find your motivation. Know the reasons why you want to make a change and keep them in mind, maybe even write them down.
Then again, these may not work for you, but they did wonders for me.
