good on you man. I was really big into junk food. I got up to 250 and one day I just noticed I wasnt even eating the stuff because I liked it. It was more of an addiction. I havent abandoned all sweets but instead of eating literally 10 pounds of garbage a day I limit myself to one small 1 ounce chocolate bar and i try to have it be dark chocolate as its less fattening. After limiting myself I find I am starting to eat better without even thinking about it. I crave foods I havent even had before which is how I started eating salads and veggies with a low or non fat dip. My only suggestion is to know yourself. Know your limits and know what you can and cant do. Some can only take these steps if its cold turkey. You change it all or nothing. Others if they dive in too quick the shock of it all is too much and before you know it your back eating even more than you were before. And also be weary of your mind telling you you have earned a break. You can do it though man. Listen to your body. Not the voice saying you cant do it. You will overcome.
