So funny, I was just blogging about my own experience with having to live on a diet, and I saw your blog afterwards. I can totally relate, I had to knock a lot of the things I loved to make myself healthier. I almost never eat red meat, and high fat foods just add to my discomfort these days. It takes time, but I found about six months into it, and it's just habit. I pass the steaks at the grocery store (most times) and I eat carrots now. I gotta admit, I think it is definitely an improvement in how I feel physically. Good luck!
