Eat Fruit and Vegetables

I’m going with the baby approach; blending the hell out of stuff. At least it still has all the nutrients, and you hardly taste them (although the texture of veggies is what I mostly don’t like). As for fruit, well I do a lot better there, and I drink fruit smoothies, so I think on that half of the goal, I’m done. I’ll keep this goal open for a few more weeks, try some more veg blended up, and tick it off, I’m really happy with that! :)

actually became a vegetarian! proud of it

that I’d like to do more of! More fruits and veggies!

ok, started a diary of my daily fruits and vegetables. my must is at least 2 day (which is quite a lot for me…). I’m doing it right for a week now!!

All I’m eating at the moment is foods with fruit and vegetables in, and I’m not enjoying the food much. I also have switched to brown breads rather than white, because of the sugar content. I really don’t like brown bread, by the way. My mood is going to fluctuate so much now, I know it. But still, if in the end it makes this food enjoyable for me, it’s all good.

Amazing about the power of suggestion. I don’t really think about the fact I eat few fruits and veggies. It just is. There are always other things available that I’d rather eat. But once I added it to my list of things to do, I started to notice my choices. Today, at work, we had pot luck to celebrate a co-workers upcoming wedding. Guess what? Instead of just munching on the cream cheese dips and nachos and cheese & crackers, I actually tried some of the fruits and veggies on the trays. And they were good. So I’ll keep this on my list and maybe it’ll keep reminding me to eat healthier.

Got in touch with a local hypnotherapist, should be meeting her this week. She reckons a total phobia cure would only need two sessions for me :) I hope so!

...quite close to where I live/work, I could go there after work. I think what I have would come under the heading of ‘phobia’. I’ll email them and see if they would be able to help. Everyone else I’ve spoken to sees it as a common problem. So where are all the others hiding? :)

Hi! Good on ya for trying carrot cake!! I wouldn’t have been able to do it! I have the same problem I am 22 and feel that this is something that I need to start changing. There is a yahoo group with heaps of other people with the same or similar food problems. It has probably given me a bit of motivation to try different foods… but im still working up the guts to do it :) So you are definately not the only one :) It’s called Picky Eating Adults incase you wanted to check it out :)

Erik’s mum made carrot cake. As I was a guest and didn’t want to be rude, I had a piece, and it was lovely! So much so that I had another slice. My mum has asked if I’ll be able to get the recipe so she can make it for me too. Granted the pieces of carrot were tiny, but still, it’s something, right?
