I was on NS for 4 weeks before my annual check up and was able to get off the anti-depressants and the HB medicine! I know the HB was lowered because I was eating healthier. The anti-depressants were just a wonderful bonus of getting a better view of myself with the NS diet and the wonderful people I've visited with. Somehow it's easier to discuss dieting with someone other than family.... Good luck on the new food. Don't forget there are recipes and ideas here to jazz up items you aren't crazy about. Good luck...dj

I know how you feel! I paid the extra $20 for rushed shipping and a week later still had no package!!! UPS is the one who lost my package though. They did finally find it. All my chocolate was totally melted (since it sat in the warehouse all weekend in over 100 degree weather). Thankfully you are doing the right thing and already cutting back. Crazy me just used the opportunity to eat many "last meals" Haha. I gained 3 lbs. before my food finally got here! Not a wise choice. . .and it didn't help my self esteem. :) I find that most of the food is pretty good and filling. I am sure you will be very successful once you finally do receive your food!! I love that there is little thought involved! I just have a hard time deciding what to try next.
