I think, Sis, that this is one of the most positive steps I've seen you take in a long time. It's a baby step, but such an important one.
You have our support in any way possible, you know that.
One small thing I may suggest in regards to the sodas, try looking at the many and assorted carbonated fruit waters that are out there. There are MANY with no sodium, and only 2 or 3 calories per bottle, and there are even several of them that taste pretty darned good. I've had a lot of luck with store brands. It will give you the fizziness and the sweetness, without the caffeine and high sugar / sodium counts.
If I can help you with inexpensive, healthy meal ideas...please let me know. I joke about how I should just take exams and become a nutritionist, because I feel like I know as much as most of the professionals after nearly 40 years of dieting.
Anyway, lurve you, babe...keep thinking and planning, and doing what you need to do in order to become healthy -- in mind and body.
