I'm not really dropping anything cold-turkey. I'm modifying certain elements of my diet. I drink a lot of water already, so changing some of my sodas to water won't seem that strange to me. I'll still snack sometimes and still go out to lunch sometimes.

As for frozen meals, I enjoy a number of different brands, and even the non-diet ones are better for you, and cheaper, than many fast foods. Check out the label on a Marie Callender frozen dinner sometime. Very tasty!
