Food scales is a good option. When I first started dieting to cut weight I ended up eating way over in carbs from pasta etc. Water is the best thing you can drink if you're dieting, because it helps flush out the byproducts as fat breaks down. If you don't drink enough water while dieting, these byproducts build up in the liver and slow down your elimination process, which in turns slows down weight loss. I wouldn't beat yourself up and try losing mass amounts of weight in a week or two. Take it slow over a period of weeks , months. Snack on nuts , fruit and prep your meals the night before so you can count the calories for the weight loss . Good luck anyway On achieving your goal0

Here's some simple things that may help you get started, other than the great stuff already listed above: Try eating from a child size plate. This will help mentally with the smaller serving sizes as your plate will still look full. Also drink your water mainly before meals, try not to drink so much after as this will flush the food out of your stomach faster and you will feel hungry again sooner. Chew eat bite 20 times- enjoy the taste and the meal. Don't just rush through your food in 5 minutes. This lets your stomach realize it's full and kick off the hungry switch (takes about 20 minutes). Make yourself do SOMETHING for at least 10 minutes a day if that's all you can manage, whether its walking laps, up and down stairs, or bodyweight exercises like squats or wall push ups- then build from there. Realize there will be good days and bad days and horrible days... but it will be worth it in the end! Just don't sit there and be "stuck." Best of luck!0
