Hi Looby, I know its hard but it is so worth it, I done LL 2 year ago and lost 7 stone in 6 month and the time flew by. I found the first 2 weeks the hardest but once the weight started coming off I got into the swing of things. I went on an AI holiday 7 weeks into the diet and stayed on SS as I knew if I come off it I would find it hard to get back on. Take it a day at a time and try and stay focused, in a couple of weeks you will probably like to watch people eat, imagine you have ate it, I found it helped, I also asked what it tasted like lol. Remember this is not for life, you will eat again, and you will have a body you did't think possible. Have a look at my pics and good luck x
