This has probably already been said, but I would recommend getting a big bag (Walmart has some really cute ones with fun designs ranging from Happy Bunny to Kurt Cobain's Rolling Stone cover) and preparing your snacks and lunches and so on the night before, and not leaving the door without it. You need your snacks or you could find yourself on the highway to diet ****. You could preportion out little bags of almonds, mozarella cheese sticks, tupperware with chicken salad lettuce wraps, and so on. When you have those foods to eat and you're keeping yourself from getting to the "oh my god, I'm starving, I'll eat anything with sugar and saturated fat right this instant" stage, it's so much easier (because being hungry leads to bad food decisions!)
I know Phase 1 is hard, we've all been there. But you feel such a sense of accomplishment after you've done it. Preparing is definitely key. It was the only way I got through it, already having the foods I needed there.
Good luck dude!
