Well, I feel like I am. However, when I look at how much I am eating I don't think I am. The big problem is that I feel full. For instance, all I have had today is an apple, some carrots and dip and an english muffin. That's it. I'm full. Its barely 300 calories but I just don't feel the need to eat. I ate a big dinner the other night and it made me sick. It wasn't bad for me - it was just too large. I had little too much yummy vegetables. So in fact, you CAN get too much of a good thing. I know they tell you that you need to eat a certain number of calories in order to not to go in to "starvation mode" but I'm not sure how true that is. My body is still losing weight so I feel like I'm not starving myself by any means. I just eat things that are lower in calories and enjoy it. As I have shown, I have also had pizza and went out to mexican but it isn't an every night thing. So clearly it's not that I have a problem. I just need to start letting myself eat stuff that is higher in calories (especially during the day). Maybe I can start getting more creative. I don't know - maybe I need to have a protein shake or something during the day. My sister did that for awhile. I'll have to check on her thoughts on those. I just hate going to sit down to dinner and knowing that according to my plan I need to eat 1000 calories. It just is pretty frustrating. Anyways. I guess I will see what she thinks I should do.
Hope everyone had an amazing 4th of July!
