Trustycat I soooooooooooo envy you. I get so upset sometimes. I wish I could get over the mental block and eat meat and love it. It sure would make my life easier!! I was like you, never a big sweets person really. I mean fruit muffins and breads were typically a dessert to me. (That and my favorite chocolate tofu pie recipe *drool*) But man did I pack in my pasta, rice and bread at every meal. I think the main thing I can see that has changed in my diet (other than the seafood of course) is the fact that I am actually eating protein with every meal/snack. Before I would go days without proteins since I rarely ate dairy. I used egg replacer in everything I could to not touch an egg and well honestly you can just eat so many beans in a week! I like the dairy now although I could never drink a glass of the stuff. I always use soymilk when I have to taste the 'milk' but cheese is good stuff!!!
