Day two, and I'm still going strong! I'm surprised at myself because normally I wouldn't even last this long. It's pathetic, but even 1 day was hard for me before. I could never get over the first few days, which is why it was so hard for me to keep a diet going. I guess I'm doing something right by upping my daily calorie allowance to 1500 instead of 1000 or 1200! It's so much easier to be able to eat a relatively satisfying meal without constantly worrying about going over my daily limit!
I actually went to a Thai restaurant today and was able to order something healthy off the menu! I ate until I was satisfied, and then actually told myself to stop. In the past, I was very against wasting food and not finishing everything on my plate, but I've realized that I'm not doing myself any favors by keeping that mindset. I know now that it's okay for me to only finish half and take home the rest. If anything, I can save some money too by portioning meals for later.
Overall, I am very satisfied with myself during these past two days. I hope I can keep this momentum going!
