For me, a turning point was when I realized that not every meal is a banquet. Food is for fuel only. In other words, the quicker I realized that grilled chicken and fish were my choices for dinner, I didn't dwell on the fact that I had eaten it 4 times the past week. Logging food and checking serving size has been the best help.
I will look you up on myfitnesspal my username is the same as here, fluid power.

Darren, I wouldnt say I am "working out". I generally do 10 minutes on the elliptical before work each morning, and then a 1/4 mile walk on one of my breaks. According to myfitnesspal, my calorie max is 1620, but their minimum is 1200. I found that out one day when I ate less than that (not necessarily on purpose, just my food that day was really low calorie). I set my goal in myfitness pal to be 1 lb a week, but, eating around the 1400 calorie range, and doing the elliptical and LOTS of water and fruit, I'm down nearly 8 lbs in my first week weighing myself. I was 165 yesterday.
