so i read somewhere once that an apple has the equivalent energy that is found in a can of soda. so i started substituting my 3pm soda at work for an apple.

sometimes it's the little things that help.

Not sure how you eat now but if you are worried about sacrificing and having to eat things that don't taste good (that you won't stick with), start with things you do like and then start experimenting with new recipes. Healthy food can taste just as awesome as the 'bad' stuff, plus when you eat healthy most of the time, you can always make room for some of the 'bad.' The kiss of death for any lifestyle change I have tried in the past was the idea that, 'oh, so I have to give up my McDonalds and eat this limp steamed broccoli instead...." and after a few weeks of not enjoying any meal, I would give up and binge. Also, portion control is key - the food diary has been absolutely essential for me and my eating has evolved in just the 5 weeks I've been logging as I'm learning the nutrition in each food I want. I've learned to cut a little here, and tweak a little over there, to make room for things I like.

Bob Harper's new book "The Skinny Rules" has some good and helpful info in it on setting good habits and eating healthy foods. Some good recipes and meal plans in there too. Buy it or check it out from your local library.
