It is widely known that romaji causes huge problems for progress in Japanese. It might seem like a useful crutch in the beginning, but after a while the student will never be able to visualize japanese when they hear it spoken, and that will hamper his studies significantly. After one gets too used to romaji, abandoning it is extremely difficult, which is why the best books only briefly mention romaji in order to quickly introduce hiragana, and after that ditch it completely.
It is widely recommended by several students and teachers of japanese to abandon romaji as soon as possible. I also recommend it, because I had the same problem, and it took me a great deal of time and effort to stop thinking in romaji.
