in Introduce Yourself
Hey! I would love to add some of you as friends to make my feed section more interesting to read and see how people are progressing. However, after reading a post where people discussed advising their MFP friends to eat more vegetables, I feel I should point out that while you're welcome to tell me to eat more of them, if lost causes aren't your thing you should probably steer clear of me. I take a multi-vitamin every day, I try to eat some salad, and I used to be on a steady diet of fried foods and goldfish crackers, so I'm getting better...but I still hate vegetables and will not eat them enough to satisfy you.

If you feel you can live with that, please add me!

    ROFL, no veggie pushing here. Feel free to add me. I'm not much into veggies and fruit myself due to them affecting my ulcerative colitis.

    If you're trying, that should be enough. It may help if you add vegetables to foods where you won't notice or taste them. Just a suggestion though, I'm not the type to food police. :tongue:

    Haha no, I don't mind the comments, I just feel bad when I see people being like "I always try to get my MFP friends to eat more vegetables and they won't :(:(:(" so I didn't want to set anyone up for disappointment.

    I am trying to fit them in that way, and i do actually like some vegetables, like carrots, sometimes potatoes, etc. They're just not my favorite, I don't have a huge budget at the moment, nor do I have a lot of time to spend looking for and making recipes that disguise vegetables well (law school finals). I know you shouldn't put off your fitness or whatever, but I'm willing to put it off for a few months if it means I'll get a job, lol.

    I actually eat very normal food. I like veggies, but am the only one in the house that will eat them, therefore, don't buy them often. You are more than welcome to add me. My diary is full of "non-diet items".

    Seems reasonable. I love all vegetables, but my food budget sucks and I always get overwhelmed when I try looking for recipes. They always have so many ingredients, seem expensive, and I've had a few too many fail on me and lead to wasting food. Sometimes you just have to do what you can.

    My food diary is full of terrible choices but at least I'm logging it down and making an effort to do a little better each day... I don't feel its my place to do anything on here but help motivate and encourage my MFP friends. I'm not going to monitor your meals if you don't monitor mine!

    Meh, veggies aren't the be-all/end-all of health. My fiance can't process most veggies, so he doesn't eat them. Personally, I love veggies, but that's just me. There are other healthier foods out there, so as long as you're eating those, you're on the right track!

    When describing veggies, my husband says, "That's not food, it's what food EATS". Other than the occasional salad or handlful of carrots, he doesn't eat veggies. Having UC gives him an excuse not to, however he has been in remission for 10 yrs and can handle some cooked ones. I gave up trying to push them on him, as he is much healthier than I am, and rides circles around most people.
