enjoyment of food

[Guest guest]

Pam,

I no longer enjoy eating much either. And I must admit some of mine is

mental. I can't eat some foods I used to enjoy, and I can never eat what

my eyes and my mind want me to eat. I haven't quite adjusted to that

yet.

Today I tried to eat some turkey and stuffing and it didn't stay. I had

been to church and then out to eat and couldn't eat. Then tonight I

didn't eat what we were having (chicken). I just got disgusted and

frustrated.

I know that this takes time. But right now, eating is not a pleasure and

I find it difficult to make myself try to eat six small meals. Guess I

need to experiment some more with some different foods and see how they

do. Maybe I should just become a fruitarian. Hehe... don't think I could

live on just veggies.

Anyway, just wanted to tell ya I kinda knew how you were feeling.

Cheryl,

I know just what you mean about missing the enjoyment from food. I find

myself disappointed because when I do eat something I truly enjoy I can't

eat enough to satisfy my mind!! Tuesday makes seven weeks for me and I am

eating just about anything I want (no sugary foods). To try and keep myself

eating something every three hours I carry little cheese snacks (string

cheese or small cheddar blocks) in my purse. That keeps me from getting

really hungry and eating to much at a big meal. Funny thing is that the

cheese is actually helping to keep my bowels regular! If I don;t eat any

for a couple of days I tend to get bound up and that's a real drag.

I have a job that keeps me in my car most of the day and it was tough

finding something healthy that didn't need refrigeration.

Good Luck and hang in there!

You are doing great!
