I know all too well about eating when feeling depressed and actually bought a bunch of slim fast to kick off my diet. However, I think you should follow the plan and have a meal instead of skipping or having another shake. You will need the solid food and it's going to keep your body getting the nutrients it needs - even if you don't have a 500 calorie meal, still eat something with lots of protein and veggies. Your body will feel malnourished and end up keeping the weight and fat because it feels like it's being deprived which means its going to store the fat as energy because it doesn't know if/when you're going to feed it again. By having that meal, you are keeping your metabolism working without shocking your body. It definitely works - a girl at my work has lost over 10 lbs in a week or two on the slim fast diet so try not to modify it! Spend some extra time at the gym in addition to following the plan and you'll have the weight off in no time :) Good luck!
