hi!
I only joined the forum yesterday after meeting with a CD counsellor and stocking up on a weeks worth of products.
I started the CD this morning and so far so good. I work part-time in a pub restaurant kitchen and I've gotten so used to just nibbling food here and there - especially when I am bored. So today was my first night at work on the CD - talk about jumping in at the deep end! I thought it was going to be quite a test but I survived and didn't touch a thing. I did feel a bit hungry and having all lovely things around me to eat obviously didn't help so I tried to keep myself busy and of course drinking lots of water. The chef usually asks me to taste things and asks my opinion but I even declined that.
I know it's still very early days and that the real test will be in the next few days but hopefully I can stay strong and not be tempted to fall back into my old habits. If I can survive the entire weekend without nibbling anything then I should be able to survive anything!
Best of luck to everyone!
