I don't think you're setting yourself up for failure, but rather ensuring that you
don't fail by catering to the side of you that likes to feel full. We calorie counters learn fast that veggies fill us up for little calories.
Every so often I just want a big meal. I can't explain it really as I'm satisfied just feeling satisfied 90% of the time, but sometimes a girl just wants to eat. So I either go to a restaurant and order a low calorie, filling meal or I make one myself and just eat it. Most of the time it's grilled chicken and a crapload of veggies. I love it, I enjoy the volume of food and the taste and I'm good for a while
