Well, you've made the first step by putting it out there. I have found this board to have (in my biased opinion) is a great group of women with a lot of knowledge, wisdom, and encouragement.
When I started my journey, one thing that made a HUGE difference for me was water. I drink almost nothing but water now. Sometimes I'll have a cup or two of coffee in the morning, but then it's water all day long.

Good luck and we're here for you!
