I was having a discussion with one of my friends last night about eating healthy, and we both came to the same conclusion “I don’t wanna.”  I wish I was the kind of person who loved vegetables; who craved them.  I know people like this.  I don’t like them very much because I don’t trust someone who would rather eat a salad than a chocolate bar.

I really don’t like “healthy” food, though.  I am sure that once I get going this will change slightly.  I’ll start appreciating veggies and lean meats.  But yesterday, I was eating a big, beautiful swordfish steak and grimacing the whole time.  It was literally hard for me to swallow.  I didn’t even try the vegetables I prepared to go with because I was pretty sure that I would have been sick.

Now, if I had been eating that swordfish with a side of white rice and some sort of sauce, I can guarantee you that I would have thought “wow, what a nice meal.”  But there is something about just eating the healthy foods that is really hard for me.  I am hoping that I will stick with it.  This tends to be the problem that I have with the South Beach Diet.  I LOVE the results that I get, but I end up feeling v. deprived and pretty miserable most of the time.  I have a hard time deciding whether or not it’s worth it.  At the end of the day, I think that healthy eating is just something that I have to get used to as opposed to something that I won’t ever be able to do.  I just don’t wanna do it!
