The pain, The horror, The indescribable saddens

My food has been cut. Apparently I'm just not cutting the muster. My starches have gone from 9-10 to 8. One starch is 1 slice of bread or 1/3 cup pasta type serving. I've gone from 7 down to six lean proteins which is one once of a lean meat. I know this doesn't sound like a lot of food but when your food intake has already been cut reducing it more is a big deal. I admit I'm bummed about having to eat less. When I signed up I thought sure, I'll give this a try and see if it works but what I've found out is that they are going to make sure it works. All I have to do is follow the rules and be compliant. It is a good thing I'm a loyal rule follower or else I would fall out of compliance all the time and be a very bad study subject. I need to pull myself up off the floor, wipe the tears from my cheek and the drool from my chin, and get a hold of myself. It is just food right? They are still giving me a healthy amount of calories which is now going to be 1600. I honestly don't know how that measures up to what people eat or a supposed to eat but I'm pretty sure there are some dinners at Olive Garden that contain that many calories in just one meal.

Yes I've been feeling hungry and look forward to my next meal or snack and no I haven't been satisfied. But, I signed up for this. I want to loose weight. I want the slim waist line that they are trying to get me too. I miss chocolate, snacking when I feel like it, cookies, ice cream, brownies, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, real syrup on my pancakes, eating when I want to instead of following a plan, THIS IS HARD! These are good changes I know but I don't think I was prepared for these changes, silly me.
