Thank you Rosebud for pointing me towards the Australian part of the forum, its good to have a read of everyones comments and messages to eachother, certainly cheers me up a lot and fingers crossed it will work for me too. Im going to get my head down to try and get over any carb cravings over the next few days. Luckily my boyfriend is in the RAAF and is away for the next month, so i think this is the best time to start my induction without his eating habits distracting me, i have already rid the cupboard of carb tempations - felt very strange throwing away food!
