All mixed with a 1/2 cup No Sugar Added Salsa and poured over romaine/iceburg lettuce. I added a little WF Blue Cheese dressing to act like "sour cream" HUGE AND SO SATISFYING!
Zoerba: If you can just stick with the food for a little while you'll find your tastes will change. Most of us are so used to eating carb-laden food that is full of salt, sugars, etc., etc. that it really takes a while for our palates to adapt. But they do. Some things I hated when I started I now enjoy. And experiment with some spices and different ways of cooking things, it can make all the difference in the world. Check out the recipe threads, lots of really good, delicious meals there.
Especially when you first start out, some days you just have to white knuckle it and push through. Drink decaf herbal tea when you're tempted to eat off-plan. Drink more water, eat more lettuce. Do it one day, one minute at a time if you have to. The rewards for staying OP are huge.
When cravings hit, come here and read success stories - it will help remind you of why you are doing this to begin with.
Even though you were posting in response to Zoerba, your advice speaks to all. I found a chai herbal tea, that really gets me through some tough spots! Sometimes, you're right it is minute by minute.

I love chai tea! Besides drinking it straight, I like to strong brew it and use it instead of water in vanilla pudding (either heated up or as a pudding) - like a little flavor party in my mouth!
