Giving up eating (for 12 weeks)

Well, first of all: I am way too fat, just below 100 kilos. And just plain strength of character doesn't seem to work anymore, mostly because I'm in so much pain that I need that strength of character just to exist and to work. I have, however, been invited to a research project where they study the effect of weight loss on people with Psoriatic arthritis, so from topday and 12 weeks onward I am going to live on the Cambridge diet shakes.
It's a bit hard to start when the house is filled with home made goodies for Yule, but on the other hand you usually don't want to eat anything ever again after a few days of Yule gluttony ;)

I also like the sweet shakes much better than the soups.
