But to add hope to your 'experiment' its amazing what you can get used to. I don't drink coffee now, but before I'd usually have 2-3 cups a day and I *enjoyed* drinking coffee.
I have also tried being vegan and things. Its okay once you suss out the shops that stock your products, try a few, find the ones that you like, and then just go with it.
I suppose eating out might be more tricky. Do you live in the states? I imagine that being quite hard too, I get the impression there's not that much choice over there although I suppose that depends on where you live! And they have a more 'eating out' culture than over here.
But the thing is, if you really crave something its best to give in and have alittle of the something you crave...otherwise your plan will become too rigid and you'll end up blowing it. So I don't see why you couldn't have maybe a glass of red wine once in a while for example.
I generally avoid sweet things now, but once a week I treat myself to a danish pastry (my weakness!) just so I don't feel deprived the rest of the week and then think 'f*** it' and go completely off the rails....
Kind regards
Meri
