From one person that has always bucked the system to another, look at your diet as YOU taking control. For a LONG time food controlled me, that was my "routine", so dont look at it as now you have to be on a routine, look at it as now YOU decide your routine, not food, not emotions but the strong you that is hidden inside.
By the way, i just read you post about calories being the way to go. I agree completely. THe second you tell me i CANT have something...well just to spite you, i will have three of that something. So with calories, there is NOTHING that i cannot have in moderation. Also what helps with that is that i have friday as my weigh in day. So on friday after i weigh i have a splurge meal at some point that day. So that anything i was craving during the week, i can now have. Like this week, i smelled chinese food and about started drooling on tuesday...now it is friday and i can have chinese for lunch. So telling myself, that i shouldnt eat it today, but i can eat it friday gets me though the rough cravings...plus i have earned that chinese lunch...i lost 3.2 pounds this week doing "MY routine".
