Make sure you are taking a good vitamin supplement as well as a chromium supplement. To help stabilise your blood sugar, make sure you have a light snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon. I found having half a protein bar worked the best as it keeps you full and staves off any sugar cravings. Finally if you are craving…

I recommend giving the clothes away as hopefully you will no longer need them. I gave all my "big" clothes away, and now I know if my clothes get a bit tight on me, I have to knuckle down and watch my diet till the clothes fit comfortably again.
