I made it through my first day fine. And, I don't feel deprived at all! I did make a few mistakes. I didn't get the water I neded into me today. Due to my problems this morning and really getting a late start on the day, it just didn't happen. I also ended up eating most of my carbs at supper, which isn't good either. But, tommorrow is another day and I will get it done!

Thanks again to everyones concerns and kind words. I feel as if I know most of you personally just from reading the post the past couple of weeks.
