Lots of support from newbies here Steve. People more or less in the same position as you. They have very recently gone through what you are going through right now. They speak from recent experience when they tell you it will get better. Keep fighting Steve. Only better days ahead.

Nailed it there mate.... But seriously you probably noticed I'm having a dodgey time, I'm only just in mth  3 so clearly remember hell week... Remember this week and draw on it when you get a tough patch down the track, I remember cravings bein almost painful in the first few weeks... They get easier and less frequent from here. You have worked do hard to get a week, don't throw it away.
