I'd take it as a blessing, if it happened to me - it could be nice to find your former downfalls less tempting.
This is me, too, for the most part. I've been sort of a "foodie" for years. For instance, my husband sometimes likes to have what I consider "crap" cookies in the house, like Chips Ahoy. I buy with and have them around with no problem because they definitely don't tempt me---and this was true even before I started watching my weight back in June.
However, I did and do indulge in some not-so-gourmet treats, such as the pastries at Starbuck's. I have found, though, that my tastes have evolved concerning their pastries (or else they've changed their pastries). I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of their Christimas gingerbread. It finally came in last week, and I ordered a slice. It was so super sweet! (And this is coming from someone with a major sweet tooth). I am not even tempted to order it again. The same thing happened with one of their chocolate chunk cookies. Ordered it, tasted it, and realized it was overly sweet.
So, for most foods, my tastebuds are the same, but for some sweet treats, my taste has changed.
