HiLana,
Did your CDC give you the phase one booklet? In the book it discusses the little changes you can make leading to bigger ones, in order to move into SSing with more ease. It is very helpful, I think.
If you are not ready to give up food entirely, then -- perhaps, you can do more of an 810 plan, then move into ssing once you feel you are managing with that?
I wouldn't go out and try to run a marathon when I haven't even been walking regularly -- I would start by trying to find my running shoes. Then, I'd wear them around the house a day, venture outside the next, walk around the block the third, pick up the pace the fourth, etc.
You have found your shoes (bought the product) -- so, have a soup tonight (i.e. try them on), tomorrow have two and a low calorie/low carbohydrate meal, and so forth... ease into it.
