I have found out that really my RDI should be around 2800 to 2900 calories each day. I have cut back to that amount and it is much more difficult to decide on what you should eat. I just think that when I eat something then I focus on how much that is going to allow me to have later throughout the day. When I want something that is not suitable for my diet I do my best to think of what I am doing this for. I am proud of myself with all the little desert snacks that are available to me I am able to say no to those. I did have a three fig newtons yesterday, but I didn't feel well and I needed some food but something that was very light and easy on the stomach. Well I am close to getting out of the 400 hundreds and down to the three hundreds and that does have me excited. I am just taking this one day at a time!
