WOO HOO, you have started a food diary.
Seriously, this is one of the biggest hurdles for people, to actually take a look at what they are ACTUALLY EATING
First thing, I think you are not eating enough. I know that sounds odd, cause as Kini said, most women think of 'dieting' as deprivation.
Do you think the amount of calories/food you are now eating has dropped significantly?
I know you have started, but I always find when I am starting a comp diet, I go through a week to three weeks of 'phase one', or adapting to the foods I will be eating, slowly getting rid of the foods I know I shouldn't be eating when I am dieting.
So basic calorie stuff. This is the easiest way (although not the most accurate) way of figuring out how many calories you need every day.
All of this information is on this thread

The "quick" method (based on total bodyweight)
A fast and easy method to determine calorie needs is to use total current body weight times a multiplier.
Fat loss = 12 - 13 calories per lb. of bodyweight
Maintenance (TDEE) = 15 - 16 calories per lb. of bodyweight
For you, this is 1508 kcals/day.
There is another formula you may want to work out yourself, a bit more complicated, but a bit more accurate.
BMR= basal metabolic rate
BMR (women) = 665 + (9.6 x weight in Kg) + (1.8 x height in cm) - (4.7 x age in years)
To figure out your weight in kilos, divide your weight in pounds by 2.2, so 52.7 kg.
12 inches is 30 cm and here is a conversion site as well for your height

THis will give you what your body requires for all of your basic biological processes, such as digestion, nerve transmission, respiration etc, or your basal metabolic rate.
To figure out how many calories you need for the day multiply your BMR by your activity levels
Sedentary BMR x 1.2 no exercise/desk job
Lightly active BMR x 1.375 light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week
Moderately active BMR x 1.55 moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week
Very active BMR x 1.725 hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/week
Extremely active BMR x 1.9 hard daily training/physical job or training 2x/day
To lose weight/fat, obviously, you do need to burn more calories than you need!!
So, take about 10-20 % off of your total calorie requirements, but DON"T DROP them BELOW your BASAL METABOLIC RATE for any length of time.
I always like to think of learning how to feed yourself properly as a process, it is a transition, it is not going to happen overnight, in a week or even in a month.
It does take time, but the benefits are AWESOME.
One thing I would recommend is that you try having a breakfast that is either:
Old fashioned rolled oats -40-50 g (so sorry, I weigh everything and my scales are metric)
with 20-40 g (one to two scoops) of whey protein
It is great mixed in, choco oats or vanilla oats are great, and you can add in sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried or fresh fruit, natural yogurt or milk.
OR do the same thing with shredded wheat. Read the ingredients carefully, in the UK this is one of the only breakfast cereals that is not full of sugar and salt.
I would also recommend you start reading the ingredients on EVERYTHING.
I was just in the US, and there are SO many food choices it really is mind boggling, but here is what you want to avoid in the ingredients list
-dextrose, glucose, invert glucose, fructose
-if it says modified anything especially fats
-trans fats and hydrogenated fats
-anything that sounds like a chemical compound that you don't really know what it is (with the exeception of a few artificial sweetners, sugar is a killer to ditch)
-evaporated cane juice, sounds all healthy and great, it is just sugar and it is in so many happy 'healthy' hippy food in the US. VERY TRICKY
That means your triscuits are OUT.
If you have a thing for something crunchy, cause there is often cravings for textures as much as tastes, get rice cakes.
I am not sure if you have them in the US, but Ryvitas, which are like rye or other whole grain flat breads.
Hot air popcorn is also a great substitute.
TONNES of veggies are one of the best things to eat. I am a steamed veggie FREAK, I go through at least one brocolli and one cauliflower every two days, plus other veggies.
This is my other big diet trick. Women often have a thing for chocolate.
I have cocoa powder/cacoa nibs as a major part of my diet. Pure cocoa is actually a fantastic food
-full of anti-oxidants
-some supp companies have isolated one of it's components, breobromine or something like that and are promoting it as a fat burner
-great for creating the serotonin effect (chilled out and in love feeling)
-increases your insulin sensitivity
-thought also to prevent certain types of cancers

I'm disappointed. They are yummy with my tuna salad.
tell me all the reasons why I shouldn't eat it. I'm guessing too carby and other reasons.
