I'm starting to feel a little better about things.

I'm starting to believe that I have enough willpower to make a limit of 500 and stick to it, if I really really fight myself. And just thinking about being able to go back to my old restriction makes me feel awesome. Being able to do this without constant, tumultuous struggle in my head may happen a bit further down the road; for how, just cutting back on calories, period, will do me. I have managed not to go above 500 today, and it makes me SO happy.

I CAN do this. I MUST. There is just no other way.
