Even Stupid Accomplishments are Still Accomplishments

[unforth]

In my last post, hidden amongst the TMI, was a bit about how the doctor has informed me that if I want to give my self the best chances of avoiding diabetes later in life, I need to eat a more balanced diet. Including fruits and vegetables. Which I loath - I find the textures of 99% of fruits and veggies to be nauseating to varying degrees. However, I have an announcement to make.

In line with my last post, I just ate an apple. I've never eaten an apple before. Yes, I know this is utterly stupid. But it was hard for me. I almost gave up half way. I had to peal it after the first bit, because the peal was really causing me problems. But I have succeeded, and I am rather stupidly proud of myself. Yes, a 24 year old has just admitted to being proud of eating her first apple. Laugh. I dare you. Anyway, the score is now Granny Smith 0, Me 1.

Now I just have to grow to like it. Ugh. Damn you texture!!

I did notice that cutting it up helped a lot. I'd never have managed if I hadn't cut it up.

For what it is worth, I totally understand. Sometimes the only way I can eat carrots is if I dip them in mustard. I kid you not. They are good that way.

And lemon juice and mustard aren't even unhealthy... it's probably the case that having a fair bit of salt or fat with your veggies doesn't entirely defeat the point of eating the veggies, especially if one notes the calories and decreases them somewhere else.
