Perhaps a good conclusion to draw from this thread would be:

One's success in losing weight/becoming healthier is entirely dependant upon whether the chosen method is compatible with one's basic values. A method based on fear will work for someone motivated by fear. A method based on love will work for someone motivated by love. The combination of the two are like oil and water, they don't mix.

This actually clears a lot up for me. It makes it a lot easier to figure out what will work for me, and what won't and why.

Thanks to all who participated in this discussion.
