Hi, the first time I did CD I was 100% until I lost my weight. Yes, it was difficult, yes, I cried becasue I WANTED food so much, but I was determined to lose it - and I did. The second time around isn't so easy. I am struggling to say the least. So, while you have the mind set to do it - go for it. You will find it difficult the first week, and you will have difficult periods when you want to eat but if you have the determination and the willpower you will do it. Good luck.
