Be brutally honest about what a meal needs to be. For example, an average sized person can eat a single-patty hamburger and HALF of a SMALL order of fries with NO drink, and be full. This "bad" food has never gotten me in trouble, because I keep the calorie count sane. What gets people in trouble is thinking that they actually need to buy the large fries and a massive drink, add bacon and cheese, and finish with cookies. Then they do it every day, and also stop at Starbucks in the afternoons.
One pound (of body fat) is 3500 calories. This is good to remember when you see a single shake at Baskin Robbins that is 2000.
Exercise is important, but overrated. Remember that humans burn calories even sitting still. So when the treadmill tells you that you burned 140 calories, that is a bit of a lie, because you would have burned maybe 80 if you did nothing at all. It is far more important to just eat and drink fewer calories to begin with.
