Things I am Lucky not to Like

Soda and potatoes. I mean, they're fine and all, but I could live without them both. Mrs Jruzer and I joke that when we go out for dinner that she could get my potatoes and I could get her entree.

I don't hate but don't get cravings for potatoes, pizza or most cake (I make exceptions for carrot cake). I'm also not a huge bread person - I'll use it for sandwiches but ignore it the rest of the time.

I'm not a big sweet tooth, so though I don't dislike chocolate, I don't ever really crave it either. I can only eat sweets in small amounts too, and then I always want something savoury after.

As such, I don't really like soda. Even a lot of juices. No sugar in my coffee. I like water, and when I drink liquor, I don't like mixed drinks. Just give me a vodka on the rocks.

Chips, except for kettle cooked. I don't like anything too salty. I had a medical condition as a baby that made it so I couldn't process salt, and even though I outgrew it my mom was paranoid so I wasn't allowed to eat chips or anything very salty as a child. For some reason she thought Miss Vicky's chips were OK though, so I still love those.

I don't really like pizza. I'll eat it, but I'd choose a lot of other things first.

I hate McDonald's and most fast foods. They make me really sick. I'm convinced fast food burgers are made of milk. I'm lactose intolerant, and McDonald's burgers send me to the washroom faster than a glass of skim milk. Gross.

I feel I just named pretty much all junk food there, so yeah, I'm lucky I don't like soda, junk or fast food. I like real food. My weaknesses are breads and pasta and cheese (but the good stuff like blue Stilton or creamy brie). I can't buy blue or brie cheeses or French bread anymore because I can easily eat a whole baguette with a brick of blue, a wheel of brie and a bottle of red in one sitting. Then a big bowl of linguine bolognese with a fistful of freshly grated parmesan. Crap, now I'm salivating all over my keyboard.

I like most foods but I guess I am lucky I just don't have a big sweet tooth. I can pretty much leave ice cream, cookies, etc at a small serving or not eat them at all. I also don't like drinking alcoholic drinks much. I know a lot of people struggle with those things bombarding them around holidays especially and that part was easy for me.

Fried foods (especially french fries, never got the fuss)
Soda
Crisps
Cake
Dessert, any kind. I really don't like eating sweet stuff after a meal

Now if I could only add wine and gummy bears to that list I'd lose the weight in no time

I can take or leave cheese, potato chips, meat, all the crunchy salty snack foods. I do not hate them, but a bag of Lays will go stale with me before i finish it. I will have it for 2 months. I am OBSESSED with chocolate, any cracker or cookie, dried mango slices and protein bars. I am weird. I LOVE all nut butters too.

Fortunately I hate anything made by hostess and Little Debbie

I also hate mushrooms of any sort. I could never get passed that they are fungi and they just look gross

I was able to kick my Pepsi addiction

I'm learning to have a different relationship with carbs (pasta, bread, grains)

It's plenty of foods that I'm indifferent about:
Mayo
Alcohol (in general)
Snack foods (except for a handful of chips now and then)

I'm a sugar-holic and I am not afraid to say it. Currently I am learning to have a better relationship but, there's just no substitution for chocolate or ice cream that is satisfying.
