I'm so glad I got groceries for this week already and hopefully I'll forget about this by the time I have to go again.
OMG I may have to eat that.....tonight.....even though it will NOT fit into my calories for the day....thanks

I just don't want to eat healthy and don't know how to get myself to change. Salad feels like a waste of space on my plate and honestly many times I'd rather see that space be empty than filled with non-starchy vegetables. I can and often do happily eat just meat or meat and starch. If I put salad on my plate it's often for show. Even though I'm the only one who sees, still just for show. I dutifully buy vegetables and put them on the plate and throw them away. Either I throw them away because they go bad or I throw them away because I put them on the plate with no desire to eat them.
But give me potatoes, corn, onions, or cabbage and I'll eat them happily. I love the less nutritious vegetables to death.
Today I put spinach in my meatball wrap. But I only did it so it would look good in my food log. It added nothing of value to the wrap and it was only about half a cup (raw! so hardly any).
Whew, I haven't been able to talk about vegetables anywhere and my best friend always comments on my diary that I need to eat more vegetables.
I dislike a lot of vegetables that are deemed healthy. I am definitely a meat and starch person. Though, I have been trying to cute down on my starches as of late. I think they are one of the many things holding me back from getting healthier.
Another of my faults is canned green beans. They are the best for you, but I love them. I usually try to get no salt added, so that is a plus. I just can't stand the way frozen vegetables taste or feel in my mouth.0 -

Rather than just having a salad have you considered making like a mixed veggie bake? I'll chunk chop like zucchini, yellow squash, onions, potatoes, and green & yellow peppers into a glass pan and mix it up with some olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, and Trader Joes sells something called 21 Seasoning Salute and I bake it at like 350 for like 30-45 min (pending on how thick I cut everything). If you want them a little crispy broil it on high for a few minutes at the end and toss some grated parm on top.
Orrr...in the summer make a quinoa salad with diced up tomatoes, cucumbers, tri color peppers, fresh parsley, and red onion. Some fresh lemon or lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil for dressing. So you can get your starch on but have a bunch of veggies masked in.
Life doesn't have to be iceberg lettuce and grape tomatoes lol.
Not judging, I just hate to see veggies get tossed.
Also not judging, because it took me a long time to get to a place where I enjoyed vegetables. You could try any of the things that people do to hide veggies in their kids food - I chop up carrots really small and put them into taco meat. Zucchini has basically no taste and can be hidden in lasagna, pasta, and casseroles. Stuff like that!0 -

I bought some brown sugar and cinnamon poptarts last night.... AND TODAY I FINISHED OFF THE BOX. Six poptarts today!!! Holy crap, how many calories is that? Apparently 1260, over my calorie goal.

And I was claiming to hate poptarts!
Bwahaha! Sorry! I can't help but laugh. This will be me if I give in and buy some.

Geee thanks lol
I bought strawberry pop tarts last weekend......I usually eat them untoasted, but will follow your instructions lol0 -
I have basically had nothing but sugar today. A cup of tea, a piece of chocolate, and a candy called orange slices. Still under calorie goal, though.0

I had a dietitian for a couple of years. She told me that canned veggies aren't different enough from frozen to make a difference in your health.
Edited to add: The point being, it's better to eat veggies than to skip them because you don't like them frozen.0 -

That's good to hear. I was always told, through doctors, family, and television, that canned wasn't quite as good for you due to the cooking process. And of course the amount of salt put into them. It's ridiculous. I open a can of regular and can definitely tell a difference in the salt level.

I prefer fresh or frozen. Can't stand canned (minus beans) veggies. They are sometimes salty and limp. Eww, no...0

I'm depressed because a serving/42g of peanut m&m's is only 17. Plain is 49. I now count them instead of weighing then out.0

I don't like some of my veggies crunchy. Which is why I prefer the frozen. Crunchy green beans are just weird to me. I tend to eat my veggies either raw or really well cooked (or not at all. Eeek.)0 -

I like my veggies a bit on the crunchy side. I think it's because growing up my parents always overcooked every vegetable so they were like mush. Blech. (I appreciate that they cooked healthy meals for me but still, blech.)0 -

Also, can someone tell me the correct spelling: is it donut or doughnut? Or are both acceptable?
Canada: doughnut

I am about the ONLY Canadian who cannot stand Timmies. McDonalds coffee is far superior and Timmies microwaves their frozen doughnuts. Disgusting! I don't think I have been to a Tim Hortons since I worked at one 8 years ago. I did work at a bakery a couple of years ago and our fresh fried doughnuts were to die for (ironic).0 -

Confession: I have the flu. I want cream of chicken soup. I don't HAVE any cream of chicken soup, so I'm sitting on the couch, under a doona, drinking black coffee and stroppily refusing to eat BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA.

Hold on, I had to google it... I know them as Pim's. And I don't like them much, I don't really like the mix of fruit and chocolate.0

Orange jelly? That doesn't sound appealing to me. Jaffa Cakes are not something I'm jealous over.0

Thank you all re: my daughter and her eating and her doctor's appointment. She is very mad at me right now but I want her to be healthy long term. Tomorrow is the day.0

Hope it goes well! Just my opinion but if the problem worsens you might want to get someone whose specialty is eating disorders involved. (Your doctor might recommend the same thing, not really sure.)Thank you all re: my daughter and her eating and her doctor's appointment. She is very mad at me right now but I want her to be healthy long term. Tomorrow is the day.
I know when my mother told my pediatrician about my bulimia, he tried to be nice but said some very insensitive things and didn't really understand. Doctors who don't specialize in EDs can't always deal with them well. But from what you said he seems like a good person and if your daughter trusts him that's also a good sign, as well as the fact that her habits haven't escalated into anything (physically) worse. Good luck to both of you!0 -

CONFESSION: I just found out how annoyed I am when people in the Introduction area post threads looking for a specific kind of person to be friends with. I may not be a Christian, you new person you, but I'm a damn good motivator!0
