Most of my diet consisted of things like donuts, cereal, and cookie dough a few months ago. I was eating like this even as I'd talk to a pharmacist on occasion about how I should be changing my diet to maybe get to feeling better. He said stop milk. Stop bread. Stop high sugar foods and start adding in the good stuff like what linkadge is eating. I wanted to take his advice right then, but it seemed to be too much to change my eating habits much. And when I finally decided "I'm going to do this", oh it was difficult. But as the days went by, it really did get easier to say " no" to certain foods I would normally eat all the time. Unhealthy foods can be an addiction. Sweets can stimulate our neurotransmitters in ways that can make us feel good in the short term. But like hard drugs, this way of eating shouldn't be a way of life. I'm sure for most, changing their eating habits is easier than when someone tries ending an addiction to something like cocaine.

I hope you can get to feeling well, though.
