the missing link: vegetables

it's an ongoing issue. every day is a battle. i go to bed at night and hope that when the sun rises again, i will have a deep love for all things green.

still waiting.

i hate hate hate hate hate eating vegetables. i don't look forward to them. they are a pain in my ass. when 2:00pm hits, i don't want to eat a bag of fucking carrots for the umpteenth time. i want a bag of doritoes and maybe a couple cookies...

but for real, i talk about this a lot and i want to drive the point home again. you can't have your cake and eat it too - literally! if you want to maintain a low weight and still feel like you're eating and NOT starving to death, you must eat your vegetables. right now during my detox i am allowed to eat...let's see...16+32= 48oz of vegetables...1 frozen bag of veggies is 12oz...so that means i can have 4 bags of frozen vegetables in one day?? YUP. and that's the only way i can get up early, go to bed late, work, go to school, exercise while only eating my alloted protein and fat. soooo this is why i want to hang my own self every day. EVERY single day i'm trying to figure out how to enjoy those green fuckers. i have yet to attain this goal. that's why we take it one day at a time. i can do in 12 hours what i couldn't possibly do for a lifetime.

happy eating! xo

  1. my concern is not the love of veggies, have always had that ~ good luck with the learning ...but how have you managed all this time to stay away from the many temptations, when they are forever staring you down?

  2. it's hard. every day is hard. some are better than others and it hasn't been perfect, especially recently. :( all i can say is that i know i am a hardcore compulsive eater and i have to follow a food plan and stay away from certain foods. in a weird way, i am blessed with these boundaries because it's just not an option. whereas for you, it is still an option. you have to make up your mind. what do you want? the same old same old? or something better? perhaps your problem is a lack of discipline. ???
