2nd week was a little easier

This week was easier to do my diet than it was the first week. I am on a 1500 calorie diet, which I thought was not a lot, but to my surprised it really is! This week I ate breakfast for the first time, which I will continue to do because it keep me full until lunch time. For breakfast, I ate either whole wheat toast with fat free plain yogurt or cereal with a piece of fruit. I also packed my lunch which was usually a salad with grilled chicken or grilled chicken with vegetables. I did not realize that certain salad dressings (Caesar,French, Ranch) could have more calories than a burger from McDonald's. I tried "Newman's fat free house dressing", and it was delicious. For snack, I ate mostly fruit, but they have these "100 calorie packs" which are great to satisfy my sweet tooth. Dinner time for me is the hardest part of the day because by the time I get out of school or work it is already 8o'clock. It is easier to go to a Drive-Thru and order a meal with a billion calories, but I did not. I went home and ate a light salad with a piece of fruit. Drinking six to eight glasses of water also helped reduce my hunger pains. Overall, I am happy with my progression and sticking through with this diet. Hopefully, it can get easier and I can be down to my goal weight by summertime.
