[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1788866, member: 41816"] Yes. It is hard. Not going to pretend it isn't. And feeling bad about it is something you actually need to do in order to recognise that this is a major change. Not something that can be swept under the carpet or glossed over with a too shiny Can Do attitude. Sometimes people who find it 'easy' to start with end up having a harder time in the long run, because they haven't had the deep fundamental change happen. But there will come a time when you walk round that supermarket and see a whole host of things that now appeal more than you ever thought - and I bet they are things that you always associated with 'naughty', but when that mental switch flips they will become permissable, enjoyable and guilt free. For me, that list includes double cream, excellent quality dark choc, really delicious stinkily superb cheeses, and so on. Your list may look completely different, but so long as it contains foods you love, that you look forward to and that make you feel good, then have at it. Meditation is great. I couldn't imagine life without it. [/QUOTE]
