I have the complete opposite philosphy. I believe that you should jump right into the diet.
My reasoning is simple, one can always do something tomorrow, but can they do it today too. I'ld rather jump into a cold pool, then let my ball shrivel slowly (and painfully).
As far as your diet...
Well, for anyone who wants to have some flavor in their food its definitely more expensive.
When I was fat, I used to drink every weekend and eat 4x the amount of food I eat now and would survive off $150 a week. Now I spend more than $200 a week and find myself running out of money by the...

I'm trying to gauge how others have overcome this.
I used to weigh 240 lbs with at least 35% BF. Now I weigh 155 lbs w/ 10% BF. Its not like I lost the weight overnight or anything, it took me about a little less than a year to lose it.
