Hi BigJim,
I think, as far as I'm concerned this will always be a work in progress. I have seen the drastic change for the better in such a short time so seven months on I am still focused on never slipping backwards. As one member of the forum mentioned to me before isn't this way of life better if it means no or little meds and the risk factor of losing your sight or legs greatly diminished. So what, if you have to change your eating habits? It really is a small price to pay.
