I'm finding it difficult to eat 1200 calories.
I am fully-over-stuffed/can't eat anymore at around 800-900 calories, is it ok to just eat until I'm full? Also there is no way I can eat extra for any calories burned from exercise (long walk), unless I eat something really unhealthy, which I don't want to do because I don't have any cravings for that because I'm so full..
