I had posted here a little while ago when I first really began to change my eating habits. I had never eaten most of the vegetables that people eat.. broccoli, peas, asparagus, peppers, squash.. none of those. I wanted to love veggies, I really did, but I was scared. Scared of wasting my money, time, and effort on making something I was pretty sure I wouldn't like.
However, I realized that most of the foods I was eating were over processed 'diet foods' and I was hungry a lot of the time. I knew vegetables were the key to eating a higher quantity of food and getting the most nutritional value out of my meals so I just decided to start trying them, even the ones that really scared me.. like broccoli and asparagus.
Things have changed! I consider it a mini-success of mine that for my birthday dinner instead of ordering french fries, or rice or something for my side I ordered snow peas and broccoli! Last night, as my snack I had green beans instead of chips or cookies. I actually crave healthy food now.
There was a time when carrots were the only veggie I could manage to sneak in my diet, but now I am just excited about what I'm going to try next. I'm really surprised at how much I actually enjoy these foods.
Anyway, I guess the point of this entry is to say that if I can become a veggie lover, anyone can.
