I lost just over 70 pounds and have kept it off about 10 years. Here's a trick I use.

Anywhere you're given a big meal that you find you want, eat half of it, then wait.

Your brain will be screaming to eat more, but try to remember it takes about 20-25 minutes for your stomach to getting around to telling your head that it's full (this is one reason people overeat without realizing it).

after about 20 minutes, more than likely you'll feel full and won't want to eat the last half.

Secondly, I'm a food "carrier". I always pack a few healthy options wherever I go, usually pieces of fruit or a low calorie/high protein bar. Even trail mix is preferable to fast food crap.

But give up first class? Not me I'm afraid. Oh yeah, I'm not in first class to begin with. You're welcome to come back a few rows and tell me about it if you really feel a need to do so.
