In response to "you have to change that, truly." by groiny

I have a secondary issue with dieting.

Posted by David (aka David) Nov 6 '13, 10:23

I know it sounds exaggerated to the point of hyperbole when I say how many foods I like, but it's not. I simply do not enjoy the taste of most stuff. Food is a chore for me rather than something to be enjoyed. Before Kim moved down here, we had a running joke (that wasn't really funny) about how often I forget to eat lunch.

Eliminating coke from my diet was something I wouldn't have believed possible two years ago. I have tried drinking water with meals but I simply cannot do it often.

aah, I have a major issue with dieting as well, I am very picky. - groiny Nov 6, 10:25 13
- Heh, I just had Subway for lunch. I get the most basic sandich possible, which is ham and cheese with olive oil. - David Nov 6, 10:28 12
  - I feel bad for you. Food is probably one of the greatest joys in my life - decline Nov 6, 10:34 3
    - Yes. And it's also a valuable reminder to never listen to David's opinion on food. -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 10:41

    - Yeah, it's strange that I enjoy Top Chef and Iron Chef because I would never eat anything they serve. -- nm - David Nov 6, 10:37
  - I get the veggie delite, but the onions were so strong, and the bread was not fresh either. - groiny Nov 6, 10:33
  - I dunno ... sometimes onioins are horribly strong - both smell and flavor - even red onions can be like that ... -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 10:31 6
    - Right, and that's my point. Simply putting one on my food for a second can ruin the flavor for me. - David Nov 6, 10:33 3
      - I don't mind onion flavor - I just don't want it to dominate ... sometimes I use scallions or shallots instead of onion - I think it's the Winter - JenBro Nov 6, 10:36 2
        
        man, I friggin *heart* shallots. -- nm - Diva Nov 6, 10:51
        
        Onion is probably my least favorite flavor. If I eat one, I may start to gag. -- nm - David Nov 6, 10:37
    - agreed - i love onions, but i may have put too many red ones in a salad I just made. - Diva Nov 6, 10:33 1
      - :) -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 10:36
