It's not that hard to really change, I have a daughter that has been a diabetic since she was 12, she is almost 40. Every 0ne in our house all at the same time ate the same foods, and hardly knew the difference. In fact some of my recipes I changed very little and am knowen for makeing the best potatoe salad in the whole family. I really have no recipe I just cook the potatoes and the dressing I mixed a dash of this and a dab of that, and when it tastes like what I want it's done. So with a few little changes I'm sure you'll do fine. Weight Watchers recipes are good ones. Prayers being sent your way.
