Eating enough?

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!
