When you're new to dieting you stomach often needs to get used to smaller portions.
You may not have had enough protein in your meal try having a larger portion of protein 3-4 oz of chicken, fish, lean meat, protein keeps you fuller longer... You could also have MORE veggies in the form of soups or salads .... There's nothing wrong with eating again 2 or 3 hours after a meal, eating another portion of protein along with a carb or fruit, I love 1/2c of cottage cheese with strawberries as a snack in the morning or afternoon. It's good to eat 5-6 balanced meals/day, it keeps your metabolism revved and your sugar levels even throughout the day...
Hope this helps, and keep us posted on your progress..
