[QUOTE="ladybird64, post: 301836, member: 29023"] Hope you don't mind my honesty Sparkly...I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. A "special" diet that they want you to undertake and they won't tell you what it is? Bug*er that! Sorry, but most of these programmes aren't there to help us rather to increase their viewing figures without giving a monkeys what happens afterwards. The fact that there is no real follow up also emphasises that point. The other point - you know that you have problems with VLCD's, you have said so yourself and you have doubts about putting yourself through anything where it might make you feel worse..if you can't manage the ND, then it isn't going to do much for your confidence. I would worry about it making you feel low. I get depression and it doesn't take much to knock me "off kilter", I would hate to see this programme make you feel bad about yourself. The best one to turn your life around is you. I'm not being sanctimonious because I have got exactly the same problem and it is a continual struggle. I still believe in myself, I hope you can do the same about yourself. :) [/QUOTE]
