Hi Patty...congratulations on taking the first step! I just started over on Sep 1st with a brand new attitude, so we're pretty close to being at the same stage.
A few things that work well for me that may help you too...I buy the gallons of drinking water from Wal Mart - 58 cents or so - and take one to work with me. In the morning I wash down my med and vitamins with a large glass, and keep filling my water bottle every time it empties...usually before 5:00 my gallon is empty. It really helps me keep a close eye on whether I'm getting that water in. It's that important. If I keep it at home in the fridge, I mark my name on it!! It's MINE!!!
Also, keep sliced meats cooked and on hand in the fridge, same with hard boiled eggs, celery stix, etc. Because the first week when you want something, it should be something ready for you right away.
Most importantly, just eat when you want, as much as you need, don't EVER be hungry --- don't count fat, calories, etc. just the grams of carbs as you know! After your body detoxes the sweets and sugars, you'll feel SOOOO good.
Best of luck, stay in here with us, and let us know how it's going!!
