i would definitely take a look at this book, then. the main 'gimick' to it is using pictures to help you build calorie awareness - half a bagel with cream cheese next to a huge breakfast that has the same calories, or two similar meals of the same size but of vastly different calorie counts. so it shows you how to find satisfying portions with lower calories.
the other aspect of the book is a lot of sane, helpful advice about weight loss - the mechanics and psychology. not just about calories and portion sizes, but about having a healthy mind-set - for example, about cheating and binging, and how not to let one indulgence "ruin" your day, your week, or your diet.
one thing about the fruit juice, though, and this is something the book covers - although it doesn't have fat, it is really dense calorically. in fact, to equal the calories in one glass of juice, you'd have to eat at least twenty or thirty peppermint candies. (i'm guestimating there, but if anything it's more.) if that's the case, you're better off with the peppermints that you were actually craving. but if you're looking to replace them with something all-around healthier - not just lower calorie but with vitamins and fiber - maybe try whole fruit instead.
