I'm with you on that. I love food, especially tasty, bad-for-me food. But I also like healthy food, which is kind of a small blessing. If I had a choice, of course I'd pick the stuff that's worse for me (cheese, white bread, salty potato chips, fries, anything), but I do love the crunch of veggies. Crazy, but true.
I don't think it's something many of us will ever get over. I think if we've spent most of our lives living that way, it's kind of like our background, our history in a sense. It's hard to get away from that. And it tastes damn good!
I have a friend who's skinny as a stick but still curvy (lucky, lucky girl), and she can eat ANYTHING and however much she wants of it and never gains more than a pound. She also has low BP, cholesterol, and has no illnesses other than mild allergies. It's not fair, but it does say there are people like that in the world. I wish I were one of them, but that's not something I can exercise or healthy-eat my way into.
We've just got to keep going, I guess. One foot in front of the other.
