A banana tastes like yuck.
I do not like the taste, smell, or texture of bananas at all. But I eat them anyway.
Bananas are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber, which are nutrients I need in my healthy diet. Bananas are also easily available and very inexpensive; especially here in SE Asia where I live now.
Part of the miracle of how I lost “half my size” with natural methods is the change in my diet. I eat some things I am not fond of for the dietary benefit. I do not eat some things I enjoy, because they will derail my new healthy lifestyle.
When I was obese, I had all kinds of bad habits with food. I ate what I wanted to eat and did not worry much about the health of it. Hance, I was obese and out of control.
Now, I think of food as fuel. I normally eat delicious food I enjoy, but sometimes I have to just “eat it anyway.” I try not to eat anything that does not have some kind of benefit for my health. I work to include a variety of foods that do help me stay healthy, even if they are not my favorite thing.
There is a phrase that “nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.” I turn that around to say, “nothing that keeps me thin tastes that bad.”
I am nobodies gourmet and I never will be. But I am thin now and I want to keep it that way. No food is too yucky for me to eat if it helps me. And nothing tastes that good if it will make me sick and fat again.
