subs and French fries, if I smell them cooking, it starts to make me feel sick on my stomach!
Is that normal for someone who's on a healthier diet, or is that just a phase that I'm going through? Too bad restaurants don't served turkey burgers though. They more healthier than beef.
But they DO have grilled chicken as an alternative.

While very much off-topic, yes, many people have reported feeling ill simply by smelling unhealthy/fast foods/etc.
Personally...in the 4.5 months since I started taking care of myself (which I recognize is NOT long at all), I have yet to experience that. I have had ONE Big Mac and ONE Whopper and a few other big, bad cheat meals and plenty of naughty desserts...and I have absolutely adored every bite.
Sarah, as to your original inquiry - my belief is this - you have to be ready to change the way you eat. I had tried to get on the fitness/health bandwagon many times but couldn't because I simply wasn't willing to overhaul my diet. I have now done so because I was just...ready. If you're not, you won't stick to it.
I love crappy food. I love desserts. I love sweets. I love chocolate. I simply choose not to eat them and find healthier alternatives that fulfill those kinds of cravings. So far, it's been working for me.
