Good luck Gonzo. Losing weight can be the hardest thing in the world, harder even than overcoming an addiction.
The problem is everyone HAS to eat. People don't judge you as harshly for being hungry as they do when they look down on a junkie or even cigarrette smokers.
I'll tell you this much, whatever sacrifices you have to make to look better, its worth it. I'm still jealous of people that can be big but are comfortable with their self-image. When didn't look good I simply didn't feel good about myself.
One of the tactics I always use in food decision making is, "You already know what that tastes like." I can imagine the taste, and how much I used to enjoy it, then I remember I've entered a new era. True, you have to be willing to deprive yourself but nothing tastes as good as being skinny.
