Vegetables

I don't know what's more amazing...The fact that I gave up sugar or the fact that I am starting to enjoy my vegetables.  I have always disliked vegetables.  I didn't like the taste of the ones I actually tried.  I didn't like the texture of others.  For example,  I love the flavor of onions but I hated eating them because of the texture.  I've been such a big baby for so many years.  Half of the stuff I said I don't like I never even tried.

Giving up sugar was hard at first but once the cravings stopped it's no big deal.  I have no desire for anything that has sugar.  When I would eat something that has sugar in it, it was so overwhelmingly sweet I could never eat the whole thing.  The only thing I have to watch is the amount of gum I chew because that can cause a trigger for my sugar cravings.

I have always enjoyed raw spinach salads.  Normally I would load them with toppings.  I have limited those toppings and had the spinach the actual focus of my salad.  Yesterday I was making scrambled eggs and they looked boring.  So I decided to try something wild and crazy!  I added fresh spinach to my scrambled eggs.  Lo and behold it was delicious!!!  I've always said I didn't like cooked spinach. Maybe I should have tried it first... My eggs were so good with the spinach in there.  It's definitely a keeper recipe.  It makes me wonder after all these years of saying I don't like spinach cooked and in fact it's quite delicious, how many other vegetables have I missed out on because I'm a big baby?

Hell must have frozen over and there have to pigs flying somewhere.  I never thought this day would come that I would actually say I enjoyed choosing veggies over sugary stuff or other stuff that is bad for me.  Oh yeah cream cheese and green pepper is also quite amazingly delicious!  I'm going to broaden m y horizons and try more veggies!  I know this post is silly but it's a big deal for me the anti-veggie.  I've been anti-veggies all my life and to see my tastes changing is awesome.
