It will be painful.

That's probably the most important lesson you need to learn before starting.

1. log your weight everyday on a graph

2. eat very small portions, no carbs

3. when hungry force yourself to drink a large glass of water

4. drink hot tea at scheduled intervals

5. eat lots of popcorn, get the raw grains from Safeway and put them in microwave for 4 mins in a large bowl with a cover

Popcorn has loads of carbs, and low satiety. Eat boiled potatoes.
A potato is far more energy dense than popcorn. 2 cups of popcorn looks like a good amount of food, but it's only ~150cal. A good way to trick your brain into thinking it's doing a lot of eating.

why hot tea?
