Bored with food???

Same here... nothing sounds good! I would just rather not eat at all than have to eat anything! My hubby alot of times has to make me eat something, he is on me all the time about eating and drinking my fluids. What do you do when nothing sounds appealing? I am like you, there are certain foods that make me just cring at the thought of eating. If I see another string cheese I am going to scream! I don't do well with beef, even ground beef makes me sick. I am so tired of tuna fish and canned chicken! I guess the good side of this is even the bad foods don't look good to me!

my drinking is good. I had two 12 oz cups this morning and I am 1/2 way through a 17 oz tonight, that will give me 41 oz for the day, not as good as yesterday, but good. protein is BAD BAD BAD.. not an ounce today. just salad. which I need, getting a little backed up here with stress and chocolate chip cookies. hehehe seriously, I will tell you that after 6 months of this diet, I am TIRED, tired of working, tired of fussing, tired of measuring, tired of keeping track of every little freaking thing. reading every little package and measuring every freaking little thing. I am so tired of lean meats and leafy green vegetables. I am tired of my hair falling out, of my tummy growing, and mostly I am tired of not enough water, not enough protien and not enough sex. ;) okay, yes, I am post pms'ing, I think that I am just TIRED. kat

I'll put in my 2 cents as well....I'm very bored with food. As a matter of fact, I'm sure this is why I've been stalling for so long - I'm not eating enough (especially protein), and I'm not getting in enough fluids (if I get in 40 oz, I'm doing REALLY well for me). No foods seem to interest me anymore. The ones I think do, once I take a few bites I get sick of it (not physically so much as "mentally") and throw the rest away, or store for the next day. I'm snacking some on graham crackers and pb, or some trail mix, and have my morning iced latte, and maybe get some cheese in sometime during the day, and then one good "meal" (which is usually a Lean Cuisine). Sometimes I'll have a few bites of chicken for breakfast after my iced latte. That about does it for me....every day....day after day....any other foods seem to yuck me out! The cravings for other bad foods is coming back a little - I pass the Krispy Kreme, see the "Hot Ones Now" sign and pout for the next few blocks, or I'll see some cookies in the conference room during one of my meetings and watch everyone else chow down on them while I'm sipping water or something to drink, and I mope. But I'll be if I tried to eat some, even if I didn't dump, I'd probably get sick of that after a few bites as well. I shouldn't complain, but in my case I know I need to be eating more in order to keep losing the pounds. I'm going to REALLY try starting today to eat more, and get in more fluids, but it's just SO hard. Like a lot of others on this board, the process of eating just a little at a time has gotten so boring and bothersome, it just doesn't seem worth it!

Well, Make room for me on that boat too! nothing sounds good anymore!! there have been a few times when after eating i wish i could have thrown up, but couldn't. usually if something doesn't agree with me, i'm in the bathroom immediatley! i notice though, anything and everything i eat usually runs right through me. I find i'm more obsessed about food now. i never was before. i can and have been eating whatever i want, but 1 or 2 bites and i'm done. i work in a lil' mom and pop cafe, cooking, so it really makes me sick of food! having to smell it all day, i find it smells good, then i'll eat 1/2 cup mashed potato's w/pork roast mixed with it, and after eating, food smells make my tummy upset!! I really miss drinking and enjoying my Mountain Dew though!!!!! if i have a sip of it now, it just doesn't taste the same when it's that time of the month i still crave my salt and chocolate, i don't deprive myself, i have a couple M&M's and i'm happy.. lol my weight seems to be coming off slow, but i'm ok with that. Saturday i tried on a pair of jeans i couldn't get up past my knees before, size 14's and i could get em' on all the way zip and button them!!! all my cloths are so big on me now, so many shirts i can't wear anymore, and TONS of jeans i can't wear anymore!! I"m gonna have a huge garage sale jeans sizes 26 through 18's shirts 24/26 -- 22/24 3xl and 2xl bra's 40-44 D sometimes i get really depressed, when i first started out, i took so much time for myself, going for walks and really watching what i put in my mouth. the last 2 months now, i have been working 4 jobs, i haven't been out walking, by the time i get off work, i'm so tired i just collapse in bed, or only have 4 hours between jobs. when i work at the bar, if i'm hungry i'll grab some almonds or peanuts and munch on them. when im working in the cafe, i might have 1 egg (and eat only the yolk) with 1 slice of toast, and i'm FULL then i gotta run to the bathroom... lol I've been seeing a DR. now cuz i had been having alot of pain in my hip, and running down my leg, have been getting "adjusted" and it was a pinched nerve (psyatic nerve) it still hurts every now and then, but not as bad as before. I chopped my hair off, i went from my hair being long almost to my butt, to now off my neck! and i highlighted it. (i had soo much grey hair) in the last week or so now, i have noticed my hair has been falling out really really bad!! so i've been trying really hard to get more protien in everyday. I have so many friends telling me lately how great i'm looking, and people i haven't seen since before surgery that don't recognize me at first... hahahaa a boyfriend who's jealousy is getting WORSE!! sometimes i don't know what to think anymore, it's been quite a ride for me these past 4 months~ I'm looking forward to a more active and healty future though!! ~Alison

Like everyone else, I'm bored with food and the whole routine. I find that I have mental cravings for the taste of bad things, but I am not actually hungry. I have to force myself to eat because I start feeling weak if I've gone too long without eating. But nothing seems appealing! Heather
