One thing I've discovered is that I can't drop something I like cold-turkey. So rather than craving, I give in every now and then. But you seem to have a very good plan, there! The other advantage to home-cooked stuff is it's much cheaper. Actually, have you tried Healthy Choice frozen meals? I can't eat most frozen meals, but the Healthy Choice stuff is quite good. It's of sufficient food-quality that it doesn't sit poorly with me, it's not spiced out the wazoo, and there's a nice variety of meals that are extremely convenient.
