The first couple of weeks on CD were really tough for me...I felt ill, exhausted and faint, not good when you've got kids to look after, and work to go to! But i saw it through, and I have to say that CD is the best thing i've ever done. All i can say is stick with it, wait til your first weigh in and you'll be spurred on! After the first few weeks it becomes easier and before you know it, the weight will be falling off and you will feel great. I'm 12 weeks in now, and I feel so full of life, energy and positivity - I can honestly say i've never felt better. Sure, some days i feel hungry and crave food as we all do, but i just can't give in now as i've stuck to it this far, i just have to see it through til i get to goal. Two things in particular have helped me greatly - this forum has been a life-saver, reading the posts have really inspired me, and also, i have a little skimmed milk in my coffee as i just couldn't drink it black, i have just a drop but it makes all the difference and takes the edge off if i'm feeling peckish. Good luck with your CD journey, these first few days, horrible as they are now, will soon be a distant memory.
