Hey Sherri. I'm new at this too.
You might find its scary.frustrating/depressing at times but I'm confident as my body adapts to the new way of eating, things will get better.
Also the people on this site are invaluable. They are truly a blessing to us newbies.
So good luck, God bless and I look forward to seeing how things go.
I, myself, have been on the diet for about 2 months now (off and on), and I feel that I am starting to get the hang of it!
Once again hope all goes well!
Lets kick some AS!!
