I like it Cheri. He has the right idea lol. However, joking apart, it is the person rather than the shape of the body that makes the individual. It is only for health reasons that I have got to lose some weight so I will be back to selflike figure as in my Avatar he he

Oh, yeah. I keep forgetting that aspect. It's good to want to be healthy, but love what you're stuck with. The reality is that our bodies are in a life-long struggle with us. We will all wrinkle, shrivel, gray, and eventually become afraid of escalators. Be happy with the body you have.

I can find my glasses, Tuffers, but I have to remember which part of them to look through to see that bottom step!
I'm sure I think I said what I probably meant, but maybe not.

As far as diet goes, we have one major issue that is genetically ingrained in us. Throughout most of the past of humanity, sustenance was a luxury. It behooved our ancestors to pack away calories while they were available. Today, food is much more stable in supply. But we still have the instinct to eat the fattening foods, and as much as we can.
Smart choices are the only weapons we have in the war on weight. One is recognizing when we are ACTUALLY hungry. This, to me is the biggest challenge. We live in such regimented lives that we actually think that "lunch break" means we HAVE to eat. This hearkens back to the instinct of eating everything we can while it's available. But now we do it on a daily basis. It's hard to learn this part, but it can be done. Eat only enough to make it to your next meal. If you're not hungry when you get to your next meal, you ate too much. This is not to say that you should starve yourself and be in pain at the beginning of each meal -- quite the opposite. That will cause you to gorge yourself. But eat just enough that you're ready to eat the next time. If you're not really hungry, cut back, but keep in mind how long it will be before you eat again.
Don't be hungry. If you feel actual hunger, eat.
Know what actual hunger is. People confuse boredom with a need to eat. And as Cheri already mentioned, sometimes dehydration is confused with hunger.
As for WHEN to eat? This is the part I'm still working with. You should start the day heavier than you end up with. The majority of calories should come from breakfast and lunch. Breakfast should contain the lion's share of protein. Dinner should only be enough to hold you until breakfast, and even then should not be too close to bed time. Again, our regimented lives can make that difficult.
Ok, What about WHAT to eat? If you're trying to lose weight . . . Low fat, low carb, high protein (and it needs to be good protein, some is junk). The protein is important, because if you simply cut calories, it will not only slow your metabolism, but your body might actually start slowly cannibalizing its own muscles, including the heart.
Stay away from processed foods.
I, personally, believe that the better half of the American weight issue is the simple lack of activity. If you don't have the option of working out due to schedule or expense, or whatever, make choices to do simple extra things. Park a little further from the store. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Heck, with gas prices these days? Just walk when you can.
And I know it sounds like new-age hooey, but stress actually does aid in weight retention. The hormones (primarily cortisone) actually make it easier to gain weight. Relax. seriously.

About the only foods that I eat that are processed are Pizza(once or twice every 3 months or so) and yep ice cream(once a month), Most of the time I eat fruit cocktail(drained w/fat free ranch dressing added after draining the fruit of Its syrup, served cold), veggies(frozen, brockley, cauliflower and carrots, nuked), One 15% lean beef pattie(trimmed of any loose non-meat particles after nuking), some rice(Kraft minute, nuked), eggs(powdered whole eggs, mixed w/water, cooked in a frying pan), 2-sausage(FJBS, cooked in a frying pan), a sandwich for lunch(Whole Wheat bread only) w/either peanut butter(spread thinly) and strawberry preserves(70 calories a serving for the preserves) or 1 slice of Oscar Mayer Turkey @ 30 calories a slice and Kraft fat free Mayo(spread thinly), tea(no sugar, artificial sweetener already added), coffee(with sweet'N'low and dry creamer to taste), All foods are as low in Calories, Fat and Carbohydrates as I can buy them(pretty low really). Low calorie Margarine is also used on on the veggies, rice and the pancakes, I'll sometimes have pancakes with 100 calorie syrup(I tried the sugar alcohol type of Maple syrup which tastes good, But It is not something that My body likes or tolerates, so I discontinued buying that stuff) for breakfast as the 2.25lb can of eggs only lasts for 3 weeks and I'm on a fixed income and I can't always buy 2 cans(about $19.99ea before shipping). Back in January I was in the Doctors office and they weighed Me at about 389lbs, recently(August) I was weighed at 370lbs at the doctors office, So It's a diet I can live with and stick to.

Jocker, Fruit cocktail comes in a variety that you don't have to drain and add: sugar-free. Dole put together a good variety of individual packs/bowls.
