ME TOO, no choice really. I want to be slim - and quickly. In fact I never ever want to be fat again. Its so much more fun being slimmer - (clothes, energy, self esteem, confidence, health - are some of the reasons) and I have not finished yet.
Three packets work for me but I agree its not easy. I seem to have put food in a box marked 'later'!
Its not gone away but for now I have three packets of fuel to keep me well and some f*** once a week. I don't have bars, simply because I do not like them.
Re 'add a meal week' - it didn't suit me either - almost too much food. I add a meal about once a week. Its nearly always f*** or shell f*** and some **** etc..
I find once a week does not get me back to eating again and I seem to be losing weight fine (three stone - three months so far) and I feel really well, better than ever actually.
Be easy on yourself, you are not a bad person, just someone fighting an addiction, its tough.
Good luck
