Thanks everyone. I started by just getting through one day at a time. I know it sounds dumb but it really does work. When you crawl in bed at night you can think I DID IT! One day, then another all of a sudden you have a week. I also don't think about it as a diet I think about it has a life change. I have to live this way to be healthy. I use to be a very big diet soda drinker. I mean 5-6 cans a day. I haven't had one soda in 7 months. I do have to say that I was forced to start eating healthy because I had my gallbladder out and was one of those "lucky" people with side affects after surgery.
