wellll geeeeeez, I think I'd just print out jenX's message for rice goodies and do that every day!!!
For what it's worth, though, this MAY help. Quite a few years ago I took off about 35 lbs one summer (it was after-baby fat) and there were three key things I did to make it happen.
FIRST, mess up your eating schedule. Spend at least a week on this. Never eat at the same time twice. Eat breakfast at 5 am and the next day don't eat till 9 am. Then eat at 8 am and the next day not till 10:30 am. Same with lunch. Same with supper. Eat at bedtime. Skip lunch. Eat three times in the afternoon. The goal is to get your "clock" so screwed up that it never knows if it's meal time or not. This will cut out about 80 percent of the "I'm hungry" thing. Also, be sure if you get a hunger attack, you check the clock AND WAIT AT LEAST 45 MINUTES before you eat.
SECOND, eat only one food at a time. I mean, one INGREDIENT at a time. For example, here's what I did to myself: you want a hamburger with mayo and mustard and pickles and lettuce and tomato? Fine. One at a time. You can have the hamburger. Wait an hour. Then you get the bun. Dry. An hour later, if you still want the tomato, you can have that. An hour later, you still want the lettuce? Eat lettuce. This is probably more of a mental thing than a nutritional thing, but it worked really well for me. After a while I *liked* dry toast and didn't *want* a candy bar anymore. And the fat sorta melted off and I was never hungry. "one food at a time" eliminates things like cherry pie, see? Can't be done. But you can eat cherries.
THIRD, pick one free day (like Saturday) where you can have "forbidden" foods. Like that hamburger or that cherry pie. Tell yourself all week long, "you can eat that on Saturday." When Saturday comes along you can eat a whole cherry pie if you want to, but you probably won't want to, and you won't do it all day long.
