    No more husband and so tired of the diet now help please!!!

    Naomi, Sorry to hear about all that's happening. Whilst the diet is great, you need to sort out what's going on at home. You're putting yourself down which isn't good, motivation wise, if you want to finish this diet. I hope things get better hun. Davica
