You are definately in denial. Don't worry I went through it too. I thought "What's the big deal, I have dealt with this pain for years...I can handle now if I decide to cheat" But if you follow Heather's diet and then decide to cheat you will realize how bad the pains you have been dealing with really are.
I used to always cheat but now just the thought of going through the terrible spells just isn't worth it to me. My weakness was BK. I had a VIP card for goodness sakes.
Jump out of denial Luke. Warning: You will go through a little bit of mourning because you will miss the foods you love so much, and you will find some of the foods can never be replaced. Like Rice Dream, will never replace ice cream.
But you will get used to the different tastes and eventually you will forget what you are missing, I promise.
Take care,
