Hi Niknak
I spent the last year or so "descending" from a great fat 105kg to my present 75-80kg. I also love good food and fine ales!
I think the best advice really is just to bite the bullet and do it. The way I see it is that quite simply there is a price to pay for what you want to achieve - in this case it means sacrificing some "nice things" (so that you lose the weight you want to lose).
For me the best thing was to be very strict during the working week, the weekends then being a bit more relaxed,
