Oh it definitely gets better!!! And I understand perfectly ... I pouted a lot at first too....felt sorry for myself. But I just stuck to it because I was losing weight and feeling a lot better. Then, as I moved into different phases, started working out, experimenting with new recipes, and the carb demons loosened their grip on me a little, suddenly I didn't really miss those foods I thought I loved so much. Every once in a while I'll snitch a bite of bread....and it just tastes like .... i dunno.... paper! Starches just taste STARCHY to me now and don't have the appeal they once did. If I get a hankering for something sweet, I eat berries and cottage cheese mixed with Splenda, or SF jello choc pudding, or peaches and cream. After a while you grow to love these foods and feel good about eating them. I mean, in the old days, I'd eat all kinds of crap.... a LOT of empty calories.... but now almost every delicious calorie is packed with nutrition for my body and that feels really good.

Just hang in there.... I promise you'll be where I am very soon.
