Don't make big changes all at once, but rather small changes over time. You are more likely to stick with it that way.

So far its eating a little less and cutting out the caffen and sodas.

you're getting the headaches because of the caffeine withdrawal though and I agree with amarillo, if you want to cut it out then you should cut down first otherwise you will get the headaches. I am addicted to caffeine too and when I was pregnant I had to cut it out immediately, the headaches were terrible and so after reading some stuff about it, the recommendation was to cut down to one cup of coffee (or equivalent) a day- and then after a couple of weeks, cut it out altogether.

It's a genuine withdrawal - there's no point in making yourself physically ill over it.

What about supplementing unsweetened green tea? Plenty of caffeine to manage and antioxidents to boot...
