    Use a scale to weigh all your food.

    I was quite surprised when I started weighing my food, what I thought I ate calorie wise wasn,t even close to what I actually was eating. It may be a pain to record everything but it becomes part of your routine and it will open your eyes and make you think about what your eating (at least it did for me). Don't under eat on a regular basis, your body needs fuel to function properly.

    Don't get down on yourself if you falter, just pick yourself back up and say that your worth it, do this for yourself not for anyone else.

    Drink three litres (12 regular size glasses) of water daily.)
    Add a little lemon juice if you don't like plain water.

    Most likely you didn't log enough. I would focus on logging correctly (get that food scale), and maybe you don't need snacks.
