    In order for me to lose 80 pounds, I had to eat less.
    Move more.

    Log your food. Study your food diary.

    My advice would be- to establish the long term goal (you did this) and also short term goals that you will regularly update. Maybe start with a 10 or 20lbs lost short term goal.
    Reward yourself when you meet short term goals.
    Weekly cheat-meals work for almost everybody, but I'd avoid cheat "days".
    This is a moving target. You'll need to adjust as you go.
    Be patient- this whole process for you may take between 1 & 2 years.
