Your body is used to receiving large quantities of food, your tummy is stretched out and constantly reminds you that it needs to be filled up, and your hands need their exercise (moving from the bowl of nachos, to the dip, and to your mouth). You shouldn't try to give up the eating habit all at once. Habits are hard to break because they are not only physical restrictions but emotional ones as well.What you need to do is replace your bad habit with a good one. And don't stop eating all at once - you don't want to become anorectic or bulimic. What you want to do is live a happy life, not one where you would need to slap yourself on the hand whenever you see your favorite cookie.
The most important thing that you need to understand about losing weight is that you need to prepare your body and your mind for what's going to happen. How do you prepare your body? Start taking multi vitamins every day (maybe even some supplements). Slowly lower your portions and improve the quality of food you eat. If you are used to eating fast food every day, try eating it three or four times a week instead (you will get to only once a week eventually). Think about how you can prepare your mind as well. A new sport or a new hobby can be great ways to get your mind off food.
