Well, if it helps, you really can change your taste preferences and it doesn't take that long and it doesn't feel like suffering to do it. I used to love to eat hamburgers and steak and bacon and sausage and hot dogs with chili and...you get the idea...and now i literally cannot even smell ham or beef cooking without feeling nauseous because it just smells like something dead and rotten to me. Things i used to dislike (veggies, tofu-based dishes, etc) i enjoy now. The most dramatic changes took only a month or two; some of the more gradual changes have happened over the years and i don't even notice until i try to eat something i haven't had in a long time and it's too greasy or sweet and it's sickening. It will happen quickly and before you know it you will be able to eat things you don't like now.

One rule that i have for myself that is easy and helpful is that in between anything i drink during the day i have to drink water. So, if i drink a glass of sweetened iced tea, i have to drink a glass of water before i can have more tea or a vitamin water or a coffee or whatever. I've read that you should drink a half ounce of water for every pound you weigh every single day. That's a lot of water for any adult. I think getting more water and less soda through your system would help you a lot.

It is also possible that as your diet changes your mood may change. There is probably more going on with how you are feeling than just diet, but i do think that could be a contributing factor.

You've heard the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. That first step is usually hard. Once you get going though, you get into a stride and it really does get easier.

I know you can make these changes. You need to.

Well, Sgt T, that sounds so good i want you to come cook for me, too. How about you, me, & Tiny meet midway - we'll bring some eggplants and you bring the mad cookin' skillz!
