Cmon, can't you train yourself to like veggies? Carrots? Nice ripe

tomatoes? Zucchini? Steamed broccoli with some low-fat dressing? Have you

TRIED any veggies lately? Sounds like you might have to retrain your

palate. Not only are those veggies zero points, they're loaded with

vitamins, minerals and fiber that are GOOD for you, and will help you live

longer.

Remember, you can't eat on WW the same way you were eating when you were

gaining weight or staying fat. That means you might have to make some

different food choices, including learning to like veggies.

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.

FAT!!!!

I actually find, that even grown up, I cannot tolerate my parent's

cooking. When I see zuchinni limp, it revulses me, and the drippings

and butter dollops just annoy the heck out of me. I note that you can

eat things I cannot tolerate (Brokkoli...yuck...), but I would offer

that you might try some of your vegetables raw, with some nice fat-free

dip, or (better yet), homemade hummus. I'm finding that I can consume

vast quantities of raw vegetables and feel very much fuller, and enjoy

their tastes more, raw.

As an example, I cut up pepper strips to about 1/2 width, and then

scoop salsa up with them (just like chips!). I get the nice

tomato/onion taste that I crave with the chip, but I'm eating a veggie.

When my veggies are all done with, I generally am quite full (almost

bloated). I'm also finding that using lettuce as a, 'bread' (like

hearts of romane), is very interesting as well. Put a bit up hummus in

the middle crease and you get a wonderful contrast of texture and taste.

Best of luck!

LOL mine too!!!! My mom uses a mixer and beats the youknowwhat out of

mashed potatoes and I thnk they're gross. If she comes to my house and I

make them she will actually get mad at me for not beating them more so

she'll add some fat and mayo to hers on her plate and mix them with her

fork! Haha Same with veggies, uck. and what is worse now is that they're

on Atkins. (and not losing weight coz neither of them can stick to it)..

so everything has butter and cream and fat dripping off it. Arrgg.. and

we are from the south.

Well... I'd rather have overbeat mashed potatoes than the way my mother

cooks meat. She likes her meat DRY. I mean... when you eat a turkey she's

cooked, you definitely need to drink a LOT of water or milk with your meal.

(Or ham, pork chops, hamburgers, steak....) Personally, ham and turkey

should be moist - cooked, yes, but not d-r-y.

I usually wing it, but here's my general formula (I cook first, and

then do points later - I just watch my ingredients verrrah carefully)...

1 can of garbanzo beans - s & w brand is generally lowest for

kcals/points.

1 TBS of olive oil. No, you don't need it, but it's better with it,

and when you whack it into servings it's neglegable.

About a cup of salsa.

Onion/Garlic powder

Tabasco brand habenero sauce.

Mash beans to a pulp (I use a food mill), then add other

ingredients, fold and stir. I usually divide the container into 1/3rds

or 1/4ths, and it ends up being a few points per. I toss it into a bowl

next to a plate of veggies, and that's a cheap, low-point, high-fiber,

very filling dinner.
