I'm on day 2. God it feels like a long journey and in my mind I swing from thinking all sorts of "I can/can't do it" scenarios! I was out with friends who had a meal last night (i nursed a pint of water), big family BBQ today and a birthday do and a wedding at the weekend. I'm not too bothered about missing the food but am stressed about telling them what I'm doing, so reckon I'll try to mingle and not sit with eaters. I figure if I can cope with starting it this week I might get somewhere! I also have 3 young children and it is the food they like that I over-indulge in. Anyway, I realise I just eat for the sake of it as a constant comfort
