I have slowly gotten myself on board with making changes to my diet. With everything else not working and knowing that we are taking it slow in getting me back on various meds after my disaster this past year with those...I figured it was worth a shot. I'm not crazy strict...but I have tried to add in more of the good foods...which was difficult because I have always eaten like crud...lots of fast food, tv dinners, etc. But now I find that it's really not that hard to eat fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, etc. In fact...I can't stand some of the food that I used to eat now. I've also tried to cut out the bad things. I was never big on candy so that hasn't been too difficult...but I have only ever been a soda drinker and trying to drink more water (read into that ANY water) and cutting the pop out of my diet is still proving to be a struggle. But for someone who hasn't had ANY water to drink for the past 20+ years I am proud of myself for being up to 3-4 bottles worth a day and down to one can of pop (just with meals). But changing my diet has definitely helped...after almost 2 months I am noticing a difference. It's still an evolving process as I learn to love good things that I can substitute for the "bad" things...but it's worth it.
