I had some of my stew for breakfast and again for dinner.  It was delicious.  I brought my cup of cashews into the office and ate them all before noon. Not because I was hungry, but because they were deliscious and I couldn't stop myself.  
At 12:53 p.m., I felt cold.  In my head I actaully thought, "Am I getting chills from this diet?"  Then, I realized my ridiculousness when someone else commented that it was cold in here.  The point I want to make here is that I need to be careful when I assess how I am feeling.  It's very easy for us to blame everything on our diet. I want to try to avoid making those types of assessments just yet.  There are other times I have felt a little dizzy or light headed during the day and I am sure it had nothing to do with food and more to do with the fact that I stare at a computer all day and my eyes get tired.
The very most important thing for me to note - There was not a single moment today that I felt hungry or deprived.   As a matter of fact, I went straight to the gym when I got home from work.  I did 10 minutes on the stair master and jogged 3 miles.  Usually I'm so hungry by the time I get home, I eat dinner and have wait for it to settle before I can think about hitting the treadmill.  
I was thinking about what causes me to not succeed when I try to lose weight.  My moments of weakness come when I am either hungry or bored.  A good movie and never ending snacks to me is almost better than sex.  You should see how my husband and I light up when its movie night at home and we're in Meijer deciding on what we're going to pig out on.  We love it.  The cool thing is, I can totally munch on veggies and dip.  I don't usually because of all the calories in the dip.  I'm looking forward to some merlot and cheese this weekend.
