[quote=Anonymous]I do not know what your diet is like right now, but it might help you to adopt new habits one by one.  Do one for a few weeks then ADD another.
- eat a high fiber diet.  I mean really high fiber.  All bran buds cereal is good- you can eat as cereal with milk or add to yogurt.  Start with half a serving and work your way up.  You could add fruit if you like something sweet. There are also shakes and bars out there if that is more of your thing.  I think someone on here posted they eat beans for breakfast.  
- drink at least 64 ounces of water a day.  Coffee, soda, anything else is bonus.  I find it helpful to make goals throughout the day.  Drink 8 ounces when I get up.  Another 8 ounces before I eat breakfast.  Another before I eat lunch.
- increase your lean protein.  
- increase your intake of vegetables.  You can still eat fun food, but eat a smaller portion and pair with a salad or raw or cooked vegetables. 
- look for bad eating habits to remove or reduce.  I realized that over time I had started eating way too much cheese.  So I cut out all cheese for a month (a horrible month).  Now I only let myself eat cheese if it is a necessary part of the food.  So no cheese on sandwiches, but i will eat pizza.

It might help to measure portions for awhile.  It is very eye opening how little a portion of most food is.

You can do this!
