I hate eating healthy fud!!
I do not have a healthy relationship with food. It's love/hate on the good days. Hate/hate on the bad days. Love/obsessively stalk on the worst days.
I was a good girl this morning. My lunch is all packed--steamed broccoli, plus a respectable serving of mashed potatoes and turkey (still! I apparently got one of those magical, perpetually renewing turkeys). For breakfast, I put together low-fat yogurt with some honey, blueberries and raspberries.
I choked the yogurt down. Gagging and grimacing the whole way, saying, "It's good for me."
All I want is a buttery, carb-loaded croissant and a coffee with sugar and cream. Right now. I'm not even in the grips of the Menstrual Beast anymore and that's how I feel. Give me a fucking croissant and some coffee.
Why? No idea.
My friend She claims that you get more nutritional value from foods you enjoy, but what if all the foods you enjoy don't actually contain any nutritional value? Will my croissant magically contain vitamin C and calcium, just because it tastes better to me than yogurt with twigs and berries? I hope so..

That's basically my experience when I make myself eat salad. "I'm trying, I'm trying," I say.
Eat chocolate yogurt. That's what I do. real cocoa. Good for you.
I have a love/hate relationship with food too. It doesn't help matters any when I eat somewhere and I get food poisoning (or whatever sick).
what does it say about me that yogurt with some honey, blueberries and raspberries* is (a) my standard breakfast and (b) I like it?
but hey, breakfast is the last and only healthyish meal of my day
*in the form of a smoothie.
Yesterday there was one of those stories about 'bad salads' - too many ingredients, too many calories, too much, too tasty.
I can't tell you how offended I was. Here's the thing: if I'm pathetic enough to order a salad for my meal, I jolly well will have anything I want in and on it. Same goes for egg-white omelettes, by the way.
And no thoughts of caloric nobility will steer me away from hash browns smothered in ketchup.
mmm --- "magic croissants"...I'd eat 'em...

Does She's theory mean I'll get great nutritional value from a bag of Doritos or Twizzlers? Because I have to avoid them at all costs or I'll eat an entire bag in one sitting, until my tummy hurts.
I'm pretty good about eating healthy in general. That way, on the day I just want a bagel with a massive amount of cream cheese, I can eat it and not feel guilty.
Will you?
I've been going through the painful process of discovering that the healthier my food, the more effed up my bm's are (that's my polite grandmother talking, in all honesty I call this phenomenon "butt pee"). Yogurt gives me terrible gas. A bagel with cream cheese or a nice buttery croissant accompanied by a cup of coffee with keep you nice and regular.
