The day to day is the only way

I have found while being on this diet that I have a very strong will power.  I wasn't aware of that before starting this diet.  I have never ever weighed my food.  And hated counting calories on previous diets.  But every morning I can't wait to plan out my day of food.  I started using myfitnesspal and wow does that really help.  I realized the other day after a 2lb loss that I had eaten every bit of my 500 caloires, all my veggies, all my fruits and all my meats.  I walked for 30 minutes.  Then the next day I stayed the same.  The day I stayed the same I had only had 435 calories and I had walked.  So I started looking back at my meals for the week and all my meals had been 450 calories and under.  I believe it was Heather at http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/ that told me NO NO, Michelle you can not do that.  So I have made some adjustments to make sure that I am getting every bit of 500 calories, all my veggies, fruits and meats and wow what a difference.
