I agree 100%!!! Languaging is very important. If you can begin to change your language in relation to what it is you are seeking to change it *will* change more effortlessly!
You manifest your reality by the language you choose and the thought you think, so perhaps beginning to say something to the effect of "I am enjoying increasing they variety and amount of vegetables that I eat." is a good start.
All that being said, I am vegan and eat mostly vegetables!
I do like fruits and grains, but the bulk of my diet is green leafy vegetables, beans, legumes and the like! I like *all* vegetables, even just steamed plain or raw.
Part of what makes me like them is knowing how good they are for me and how vital to good health and disease prevention consuming as many serving of vegetables *is* for me!
I started a thread, "Voluptuous Veggies" and it's a 5-10 servings a day challenge, so I encourage you all to post there, share ideas and get encouragement!
I suggest getting a few good cookbooks to help you find some creative ways to eat veggies. Do you like pasta and sauce? You can sneak steamed pureed veggies into nearly any pasta sauce and it's easy to get down that way. Also, when making bean dishes you can put kale or swiss chard or spinach in them and they go quite nicely. Please PM me if you need any recipes or suggestions
