I used to drink 4-to 5 sodas a day, 3 cups of coffee with tons of sugar, I would literally eat a whole pizza. Some days would consist of 5 or 6 large meals with a few king sized candy bars. This is definitely an improvement. What I'm doing is better, it's probably not what health people consider so "healthy" but I'm doing a lot better than I was. Maybe someday I'll move on to a different diet but for now I feel okay with this I'm just honestly happier I'm eating better than I was, it was getting out of hand
Honestly... I was pretty much the same way during my "comfort-eating" period (2 years maybe) which completely screwed my body up. Bye bye, six-pack, that's for sure. :\ So yeah, I feel ya. I didn't drink sugary fizzy drinks, though, it was usually Diet Pepsi. -_- Actually, I drank that crap for many, many years, thanks to my step-mother turning my dad and I into Coke-heads. (Coke like the drink heh) I've not touched that stuff for 2 months.. OK, so when I visited my folks (who have tons of it lying around so it's hard to ignore) I've probably had maybe 2 cans of Diet Pepsi, which I regretted; just gassy and pointless. I'm used to water, now; it's pretty much all I drink. 8)

You're certainly doing well. You could totally eat bread - wholemeal is brilliant, especially the one with seeds in 'em; healthy and, IMO, tasty. Pasta might be a hard one to avoid, but there may be healthier alternatives.

Ultimately, if you feel good and are generally healthy, then that's a good thing! So keep up the good work. 8)
