Reply to "How do I change my diet?"

You will not be successful with a diet that makes you feel like all the joy eating has been stolen from you. What I would suggest is to limit sweets to very small portions, and not several times a day, after a few weeks of abstinence. Just like people battling weight issues, you do not want this to be "reward and punishment," but a change you can live with. One thing to keep in mind is that your brain (everyone's brain actually) is wired to crave more and more when you eat sweet, salty, and fatty foods. You will find that the less you eat these things, the less you crave them. But, it will take some time.
