Well you have made the right decision, this diet is fantastic. I am not going to kid you that it is easy and the first couple of days are really hard, but as long as you prepare you will do great!! I have lost 22lbs in 5 weeks and am really happy. Starting to notice a difference in my clothes already which is good and getting compliments on how much weight I look like I have lost. Just keep in mind what brought you to CD and you will be fine. I have done a motivation wall by my computer, I have listed all the things I want to achieve both in weight and emotionally (mainly become a yummy mummy - I have never been yummy at anything apart from to my hubby).. I have bought a nice top from monsoon that I will be in ((my target top)).. and photos of the last time I was happy with myself (teenager!) and my overweight photos...
Just some ideas for you, but if ever you need support or motivation or a shoulder to cry on we are all here and in the same boat..
This is a journey, and it is up to you and you alone how you travel, the direct route or the scenic route!
Good luck, I am sure you will do fantastically well..
You may want to keep in mind splitting your packs with being diabetic?? I have 6 smaller shakes instead of 3 large ones??
Sorry for the long reply...
Love
