How do you get there from here?

[Guest guest]

I joined this group for a very specific reason. For most of my life my diet was

meat, potatoes and Southern Comfort (Who the hell needs potatoes?) After two

carotid endarterectomies, I am reall worried about the fact that what I eat is

killing me. But my food habits are so carved in stone after many years of

unhealthy eating, that I don't know how to get myself to do the right thing.

Even fear of death doesn't seem to do it. I think what I need is some sort of

intelligent behavior modification plan. Years ago I studied Taijiquan with a

student of Erle Montagu's who followed a rule of never eat any processed foods.

Intellectually it made sense to me, but that didn't help translate it into

behavior.

 

My question is, have any of you ever found yourself in my position and, if so,

how did you go about changing your habits if you started out loving meat and

actually rather disliking fruits and vegetables?
