So far, so good.

Granted, we're only into the second actual day of the Lose It! program, but I haven't murdered anyone for a slice of pizza yet.

I've found it helps if I plan out what I'm going to eat first thing in the morning. It gives me an idea of what I can have and it takes away and possible last minute terrible decisions. I knew I wasn't going to be able to bring dinner tonight, but based on what I had left, I was able to decide where the best place to go would be.

Another added benefit of planning my food early is that it gives me time to really decide if I want something. After logging breakfast and lunch, I had enough calories left over to have a sandwich and a small order of french fries for dinner. But the longer I thought about it, the more I realized that I didn't really want the fries, so I took them off of the log and now I have plenty of calories left over for a sweet snack later on if I want.

Yesterday was a little rough, because I felt like I was hungry all day. I don't know if it's because I skipped breakfast and didn't eat the kind of junk that I usually ate, but I keep telling myself if I can just get through this first week, it'll get easier.

I can do this.
