I am on that same path too, honestly I am on a lot of paths of change lately, and what I eat is one of them...

This though has recently been pretty easy for me. I have just accepted and actually want it. In the past I would complain about oh it's so expensive to eat healthy food, or it's to hard, ect. This was my mind set...

Now I am like soooo looking forward to going to Whole Foods tomorrow. Yes, it is more expensive, but not as expensive as getting ill or missing work. Besides, once you have tasted good healthy tasting food, you wont go back... Still trying to get my 10 year on the ban wagon so to speak, but little hard. Just a couple days ago he talked me taking him to Burger King. For the first time, I was thinking thoughts OMG what is in that suff, ah it looks horrible. Heck just a few weeks ago I would told them can you make it two...

It is a mind set, absolutely. Now don't get me wrong, I still have my little things, like my coffee (which I have switched to Organic and cut WAY BACK!! replaced that w/Green Tea). And I splurge w/a glass of Red Wine while cooking... And not to say to that I will never have a beer again.... I heard this said, if it is sacrafice it ain't no fun and you wont do it. So try to make it fun, and look at trying new things. It's not to say you can't NEVER eat what you want, but each thing good thing is ONE MORE GOOD THING you put in your body, and that's a good thing....

Best of luck...
