It is much harder than I hoped it would be sticking to the 1200 calories a day,I am managing 1500,making the right food choices is hard too and I have been tempted by the wrong foods though nothing with the forbidden sugar,so far.I am losing weight but slowly.I am trying to decide between a ham and cheese panini or mushroom risotto for dinner tonight,but am unsure which to choose.Either way,after saturday when I am going for a meal at the Mexican restaurant with my niece I am going to try again to get down to 1200 calories a day.At the Mexican I am not going to go mad,I want a calamari starter and a veggie bean burger with sweet potato fries,I will stick to sparkling water for drinks or may allow myself one cocktail.

I do feel lighter so this is an incentive to try harder to lose weight.
