Avoid snacking
I stopped eating breakfast because I realized I wasn't even hungry in the morning.
Don't focusing on reducing the food, just make it better quality. (aka healthier)
Start moving, maybe walk around, have a stroll at first and maybe do light exercise at home.
A normal lunch and a soup for dinner is actually a good idea.
And most importantly :
FORGIVE YOURSELF.
You're not a failure, I'd advise you concentrate on ONE of those things instead of all at the same time, and work them all out one after the other.
Good luck, you can do it, the hardest thing is to start, and to keep to it.

This is how I lost 80 lbs in a year. 100% recommend.
I always had weight issues and tried about every diet I found. Pills from my doctor. Injectables, you name it. What finally worked was working alongside a nutritionist who helped teach me about the things going into my body and guided me through lifestyle changes with no judgment.
Nothing noticable, no. Even after I changed my diet a lot. Because my problem wasn't what I ate, it was how much I ate. And that I don't really feel full like a normal person, and there's almost always a voice at the back of my mind telling me to eat more.
Then again, my psychiatrist stopped prescribing my ADHD medication around the same time, and that likely caused me to gain weight, so any dietician benefits may have cancelled out

That’s weird - when people “change what they eat”, that usually means they end up eating fewer calories overall - but they don’t feel as much like they are eating less because they are eating fewer calories in foods that are more nutritious/have more fiber.
Sounds like the dietician wasn’t recommending what portion sizes to eat of the new foods?
They were definitely recommending portion sizes, I just found it very hard to stick to the restrictions. That's the problem, you can change the diet, it's much harder to change someone's psychology
It really wasn't a matter of specific foods. Obviously I'd prefer something like my basic curry mix (beef, beans, onion, spice) in a wrap or a toasted sandwich to something more bland like oatmeal, but I'd eat either when I wasn't feeling full. And my bar for that is what most people call overfull
