Think I saw on the CD forum you were planning on starting CD. I did prep week which I think really helped as I didnt find starting the diet that hard. I had a few days of headaches but soon passed with a paracetemol and water. Had constipation twice in 3 weeks and felt a little tired, but other than that have been fine. the cravings are the worst, but I gave up smoking last year so I use the same 'mind talking' techniques as I did then! This has been the one thing that has seemed to 'click' with me. I dont have to worry about buying the 'right' food, weighing things to the exact gram, or dealing with restaurant menus. Its tough on the social side if it revolves around food (which mine does, as does my work) but I am so determined to do this. I just make my excuses and either dont join in, or go after the food. This site is great for tips and advice and mostly support, so commit to it 100% and you'll do fine- you'll be so proud of yourself!
