Dilemma: I'm a cheater =(

I went grocery shopping and bought what I needed but still I am cheating. Should I just skip Phase 1 and go onto Phase 2? But I am sure I wont lose as much weight in Phase 2 as I could in Phase 1. Also if anyone could list some quick lunch and dinner ideas that would be great because those are the two meals I have the most difficulty with..I am a student and it's hard to stay in the kitchen for so long without realizing I have tons of homework up ahead of me.
I've tried making salads..I grill the chicken on my George Forman grill the only thing is when I grill it on there I always end up burning it lol, so if anyone knows how long you should leave a boneless/skinless chicken breast on that GF grill let me know, gosh that was embarassing to admit but my lack of knowledge of the kitchen doesn't help much, I grew up with my mom always preparing my meals I would always make my own snacks which would be a bag of popcorn or chips, healthy huh?
The grilled chicken doesn't taste good on it's own so if anyone has any ideas of marinades for the chicken or some seasonings that would be helpful too.
I am so glad this message board is here or else I would be so lost without it. Thanks to all you ladies that help out us newbies so much!
TIA

Don't feel bad for being a cheater, I too have cheated on this WOE and felt bad. However, I then realized feeling bad isn't going to make the weight go away! So this week I'm on phase 1 again to get back on track. Some tips I have learned along the way that might help you:
1) No sugar added fudgepops are a GODSEND!!! Seriously you are allowed 75 cals of sugar free dessert per day and these really hit the spot!
2) Exercise WILL help you with weight loss and convert the fat into lean muscle and combing aerobic/cardio exercise with strength toning will shape your body in no time.
3) Drink LOTS of water each day, believe it or not more water helps you lose weight.
4) Don't feel bad for cheating ONCE IN A WHILE. I have found when my weight stalls that cheating a little at one meal helps to boost the metabolism.
5)If you're hungry, eat!!! Just eat the good foods.
6) Watch your fat intake. I found that too much fat defeats the purpose of the diet.
I hope this helps, I know some of the tips I learned have helped me!! Stick with it and the weight will come off in no time.
