You will almost certainly get there if you just keep it up. My downfall was all the chocolate bars, biscuits, buns, sweets etc. By cutting it all out, I started to lose weight and my BGs started to fall. But, I still did miss them. To get around that, I had to re-educate my palate. Invariaby I ate the sweet stuff, even if it was just a couple of slices of toast and marmelade, because something was missing in my normal food, a crunch, a texture, a certain taste hit. These gaps were all too easily filled by chocolate hobnobs dipped in hot chocolate.
I have now become very interested in good quality food and eat two fish meals, two poultry, two red meat and one veggie meal per week. I make all my own sauces and stick to complex carbs. I don't feel the need to grab a mars bar now. Whatever it was that was missing in my previous diet is now in my current diet. There is also a bit of kiddology involved. If I eat an apple or a pear, I sit down with a favourite knife and a wooden board and, 'make a meal' out of it. I'll often prepare a lemon drink to go with it too so it starts to feel as if I am having a desert. Eating an apple whilst watching TV, you hardly notice that you've eaten anything.
