[QUOTE="Salvia, post: 1607997, member: 278312"] Hi [USER=449155]@kay1165[/USER], and welcome to the site. There's plenty of initial advice been given in the posts above,so I won't add to that for now, coz I remember when I was new it took time to get over the shock, and then to start taking in the things that people were saying. Browse around the various topics and threads, not forgetting the 'Home' page for the site (via the tab at the top) - there's tons of info there, including a list of about 20-odd different "ways of eating" - so there really is plenty of sources around and information to help during the early days. I notice in your first post that you mention your job means that you often spend time travelling up & down UK, so I would guess that means that mealtimes (maybe lunch especially ??) can be - rushed/grab what's there/easily portable carb-heavy. Add to that sitting down driving for however long. Can't be easy, controlling food diet and weight in those conditions. :( There are folks here who've been through similar things, and can share their experiences; may not be right for you, but it all helps to give people options to consider. Any questions - just ask away. There's usually somebody around who can help, or at least point in the right direction. :) [/QUOTE]
