I'm in the same boat, course not nearly as far in. (probably only about 40-50 lbs of fat) I'm 288, 6' 1" and trying to change lifestyle. I'm finding it enourmously difficult. I'm used to consuming huge quantities of super tastey food that puts me *insert gesticulation* this close to feeling my arteries harden as the food goes down. Tis quite a pain in the ass to work at.
What I find as the easiest way to go about doing it is to make some real tastey food (seeing as how real tastey usually mean good ingredients, which aren't cheap, but much in the same way huge amounts of cheap food aren't) and savor as much as possible, and before I get started eating, think about how much food it actually is, not how much my stomach or mouth feels like it is, but how much is actually there, and the idea of that much food being in my stomach and feeling that that is a reasonable amount of food. It's slowly working for me, I'm only eating unreasonable amounts food, not the usual 'larger than my head' serving size. Now that I think about I must've been burning an obscene amount of calories daily.
