My thoughts are that no longer feeling "controlled" by food is a really great thing! I've come to see food as much more utilitarian too, rather than something I'm always looking forward to and thinking about.

There's nothing wrong with eating the basics, as long as you're following the plan. However, it's best to move up through the OWL rungs eventually, both for variety and for making this WOE a part of your life permanently - limiting your foods forever makes it more like a diet. You may not get sick of the same foods right now, but months from now, you may feel differently!
