Never hurts to take a well rounded multi-vitamin. You could ask the doc for recommendations or just go with one of the centrum multi-vitamin bottles.
Don't cut out all the bad food at once, but also remember that moderation is key. If you like cheetos, eat cheetos, but eat a serving size instead of half the bag. Or get the baked kind and still only eat a serving size. If you like McDonalds breakfast (and who doesn't) go there once a week, not once a day. Don't be afraid to eat some of the junk in moderation or you quickly hate all the "new" food you are eating and you'll end up slipping right back into your old habits. Try chewing gum to help with a sweet tooth or when you have a "snack attack". WATER, WATER, WATER. Get enough water. Not only is it good for you, it helps eliminate the afternoon crash, it helps you feel fuller and it will improve your overall health as well. Don't be afraid to find support. Look online for forums. You are certainly not the only one going through this right now or the 1st one either. I'm sure there are plenty of support forums you could find that will offer advice and support when you need it. It's more expensive to live and eat healthy as well, but it's worth the cost to stay alive. This has to be a lifestyle, not a fad or 'diet' that you only stay on for 6 months. You'll be shocked at how much better you feel after a few weeks.
