Mine is definitely Cottage Cheese........I hated eating it.......awful texture, bad flavor, etc......but it's so good for you so I kept eating it........ Now I don't really mind it at all.....I just eat it and don't almost gag etc......How about you guys (and girls)?

    Avocados. I never liked them until this past year. I decided to try them again and they weren't too awful so I ate them a little bit more and now suddenly I'm obsessed with them! I'll eat them with a spoon even!

    Edited because I can't type. :P

    Oikos Greek Yogurt... At first it was just way too sweet and had a bit "too runny" of a textrure, but now I really like the vanilla brand and enjoy putting granola or fruit in it. Who knew?!!? ;)

    It's not that I couldn't "stomach" eating fruit/veggies for a snack before, but my whole mindset was waaay different.

    "Fruit/veggies for a snack?! COME ON!!! That's a side, an afterthought, not a SNACK! Now, where are those chips/crackers/cookies..."

    That's how I use to think not too long ago. I've surprised myself with my mindset change. I actually plan out my fruit/veggies snacks, look forward to trying new things (sugar snap pea pods for a snack?...YES PLEASE!!), and I even seek them out in odd places (pit stop at a gas station, etc.). Sure, some days I'm still on autopilot and grab the bag of chips, but I catch myself and grab an apple instead. :smile:

    I used to HATE tomatoes... unless they were in ketchup or cooked until they were so smooshy I couldn't tell they were there. Now, I like to eat the little cherry ones as a snack, and I actually crave it in a lot of my foods. Who knew?!

    Mine was tuna. I would never touch it and couldn't get past the idea of it, but now I like it.

    I still haven't been able to get myself to try greek yogurt. I don't like regular yogurt. It's sour tasting.

    Milk...but there has got to be something mixed in it, like slimfast or nesquick. It's a flavor and texture issue. I still do not like most cheeses but I've put some in my diet on occasion, the ones I can handle like american, swiss, mozzerela, and parm.

    I'm not going to waste my calories on foods I don't like no matter how good they are for me.

    Worms are a wonderful source of protien and some bugs are very good for you but that doesn't mean I'm going to add them to my diet either.

    Non-fat plain greek yogurt. i used to only buy the sweetened kind, but comparing the protein/calorie content:
    (12g 120 calories sweetened vs 18g 100 calories plain) i started going for the plain kind and just added fruit to sweeten it instead. now i love it. it's like a sweet/sour mix.

    Greek yogurt! It turned out I was eating the wrong brand/flavor. Now that I eat Chobani brand, I LOVE the stuff!

    I still can't eat fish... or eggs.

    Oatmeal. If I can get it down quickly enough, I don't mind the texture. It keeps me full for sooo long so it's worth the battle :)

    Vegetables and fruit. I keep a plate full of sliced veggies and fruit on my desk and eat from it all day long at the office. Gone are those pesky cravings for unhealthy snacks, I'm so surprised!

    Same here. No one in my family can stomach even the smell of tuna, and now they say they'll have to disown me for liking it. :) Sometime after college I just starting forcing myself to eat it, and now I like it. I did the same thing with mushrooms when I was a teenager-- eventually your tastebuds can get used to anything.

    Bean sprouts! Apparently when I was little, I called them vampire worms-- I guess I thought because they were white they couldn't go in the sun? Idk, I was an odd child.

    Also: Bell peppers, tuna, turkey, yoghurt, oatmeal, spinach...

    Have you tried the steel-cut kind? It has a chewier texure than the regular kind, but it takes longer too. You can "slow-cook" by boiling them for a minute then leaving it out overnight & re-heating in the morning.

    Tomatos and avocado's! I used to hate both of them, though not sure I had actually even tried them. (Why do we do that?) Anyway I had THE best sandwich last night with tomato, avocado, cucumber, and lean turkey. It was amazing...for a sandwich!
