It will all get easier. I was diagosed only 3 weeks ago and I've been thru a whirlwind of emotions but I'm slowly coming out the other side now and it's not all doom and gloom. It takes a while to change habits and that's what I find tough. But as someone else said, this is the start of a new...

Thanks everyone. I just need to get the hang of the food thing and learn to like food again. It's really difficult. I have had a craving for a Twix or Mars bar for about a week now n it's getting worse!!! I hope these cravings go. Guess I'll learn as I go along to accept it and think positive...
