The thing here is to remember your changing for the better. It won't happen overnight.

Here's a suggestion, what kind of junk did you eat before? sugary, salty, gooey?
now, within reason, you could add little signatures from these flavors to your healthy new choices. If you crave sweets, try adding Mandarin oranges or dried fruits to your salad, you could also mix corn syrup and water 3 to 1, then use it in a spray bottle to add a bit of sweetness to things. I stress a bit, don't over do it.

Gooey is tough, but salty is easy, crunchy veggies almost always got with a touch of salt, lo sodium brands are always best. Melt the salt in water and use the same squirt to taste principle. Also, try new combinations of things, you can mash a banana, add mango juice and a touch of vinegar to make a lite dressing that will give you a flavor "pop" on things.

In today's market, variety abounds. Use it to your advantage, experiment to find produce that you do find apealing. Your post suggests that you have been avoiding these most of your life so be adventurous, you may find one or two new things per season that will help add healthy alternatives to your diet.... Good Luck!!!
