Another thing to consider is that these lifestyle changes are not concessions. It might seem at first like you're "giving up" stuff that are pleasurable but after you've made the changes, you will keep the new behaviors not just because of their affect on your doctor's remarks. You'll keep the new behaviors because they feel better than the addictions did. A healthy lifestyle is not less fun than the unhealthy one. They are actually more pleasurable. Eating meals made from raw food and taking strolls is MORE pleasurable than eating processed foods and watching TV. When you remove yourself from those addictions, you will view them with more objectivity, and reject them because you enjoy the new behaviors more.
