+1.  You should start each meal with a minimum of 16 oz of water before you start eating.  It will fill your stomach and allow you to eat less.  If you can cut about 50 calories per meal then you can have about 50 calories of snack between meals and still maintain the caloric count.  Also, when you get hungry, the first thing you should do is drink at least 8 oz of water.  Most people mistake thirst for hunger and often drink much less water per day than they should.  In general women of your weight should drink approximately 80 oz of water per day.  And be careful of any caffeinated beverage like coffee or tea because they are diuretics which make you urinate and thus cause you to get dehydrated faster requiring more fluid intake.  Which makes you feel thirsty which some mistake for hunger.
