Newbie/No S wannabe!!

I am a 48 yr. old newbie to this site. I am 75 lbs. overweight. Sigh. I have tried every program imaginable to mankind. I have "dieted", "changed eating lifestyles", "counted", "restricted", gone "Vegan", gone "fatfree"...I could go on, but I think you get the point. All worked for awhile.
One day I got to thinking. I never had a problem with my weight until I was 33 yrs. old or so. What was different? I started dieting is what was wrong! The first 33 yrs. of my life I realized, I ate normally!! After the dieting started there was this strange pattern of diet, reward, start over, diet, reward, start over, that has gone on for the last 15 yrs. I used to eat 3 a day, rarely had snacks and seldom ate at night. If I did, it was just here and there. Growing up we always had dessert with our meals, and as a result, rarely ever wanted something sweet at any other time.
I decided to search the internet, not really thinking I would find a site where people supported each other for eating normal. I mean, afterall, don't people who eat well just do it? Much to my suprise, I ended up here. I am going back to my natural roots.....which is......No S anyhow!
Wish me luck!!
