Most of us find the early weeks a bit more difficult: That's when we're first trying to change old undesired habits, and find new ones that have better outcomes (but are still practical and doable). That will likely require some experimenting, and some experiments will be a "learning experience" rather than an unbridled success.

It's OK to make a few mistakes at first while figuring things out. If one thing doesn't work, try something different. Look at your food logs, and think what's making some days easier and others harder. Use that information to make more days better. (It may not even be food, could be boredom, fatigue, food choices that were more or less filling than others, hydration, over- or under-exercise to balance appetite and energy level, and more. You can figure it out.)

Even if you hit on the perfect strategy right off - which I wouldn't count on, personally - the first couple of weeks can be harder. Our minds and bodies find habits comfortable, so when we try to change them, it's pretty much always a little uncomfortable until we practice the new habit for a couple of weeks or so.

Hang in there. As long as you don't give up, you can succeed!

Welcome. The first weeks have good days and bad days in my experience. There are aspects that get easier over time, but even after months I have found there are days where I struggle a lot. Sometimes I do well in the struggle and don't over eat. Other times, I over eat. The key, in my opinion, is put the days where you fail behind you. Don't try to make up for it the next day. Instead, treat each day as a new day and follow your calorie goal the way you would as if you had not over eaten the previous day. Give this some time. You can do this.
