Here's what I've been doing;
So I feel like I have the holy grail for losing weight, especially if you've been overweight for a long period of time. DRINK water between each bite. Here's why. There's a hormone called Leptin that is responsible for feeling full. We gain tolerance for Leptin as it's created for the levels of our weight gain, and eventually, we actually never feel full anymore. I've been overweight my whole life and upon learning this, everything changed for me. No WONDER I was always hungry, no wonder I never felt full, no wonder it was so insanely hard for me to lose weight.
Now what I do is take a bite, and then drink down one square worth on my water bottle, (3 gulps) holding my thumb on the level that I want to reach so I don't lose my place. A bonus is that I'm drinking the amount of water that I need to drink in a day too.
Since I've done things this way I'm eating 600 calories and feeling full, when previously I was able to eat ANY amount of calories and NEVER feel full. It's insane the difference it's making for me and I am so grateful.

Here is my water bottle. I got the biggest one, and it's glow in the dark too, so that's always fun. Be careful with it, but yeah, no plastic messing with your hormones, and no metal giving a terrible metallic taste. Pure glass and as long as you don't throw it around it should be just fine.
Stay away from junk/processed food. For some reason I feel the calories are undercalculated in junk/processed food and I feel like I gain even if I eat under when I eat them. It might be the chemical additives and the way sugar interacts with the human body too.
Eat organically and make your own meals, no processed, just real food. Learning to cook and spice your own food will be game changing for you. Learn your favorites, this will help. Get healthy snacks like trail mix and organic corn chips and salsa, or make protein bars on your own. (Store bought ones suck and cause digestional issues. The Organic No Stevia Garden of Life Meal Replacement Protein mix is... straight from fucking heaven. It's so incredible and I will cry/die a million times before my actual death if they change it.)
It won't happen overnight, but I believe anyone can overcome whatever we set our minds to. I support you all! Love and respect, and peace to you. This stuff is vulnerable and it isn't easy. I think we're all very courageous to face ourselves and try to better ourselves everyday!
