What if you can't eat all that? I am so full right now and for lunch all I had was 1/2 cup black eyed pees, and 1 1/2 cups of veges w/1T olive oil. I am full so I know I shouldn't eat more.

okay, when you say "natural peanut butter, that means you can't have the regular peanut butter? I've been eating that everyday, and I guess thats why im not losing that much. Do we need to watch portions sizes? I will sometimes just grab a spoonful and eat it when im hungry
i will normally buy what ever is on sale
