When my kids were young they did not like veggies either. They would eat
salads or cut up cucumber. So if you can eat salads then just stick with
that. Why add additional stress to your life? Fruits are all low point.
Typically one point per serving with the exception of the banana. My
favorite lunch is a large salad with cut up grilled chicken with FF shredded
cheese. Other alternatives would be tuna with mayo or shrimp in the salad.

Hello!
First, THANKS for all of the congrats and comments in my previous
thread. Most people had the same theme/ recommendation: veggies. Rather
than
responding individually I thought I'd just start a new thread. I have a
MAJOR problem with food textures and I don't eat veggies. It's a battle
that
I've been fighting for over 10 years and I can't seem to win. I gag when I
eat them and it's really been something that I've worked on with no
success.
We (being my doctor and I) tried the 'eat it and keep eating it- you'll
get
used to it' method- no go. We tried the 'hide it in other things' method-
no
go. We tried the 'dress them up a little' method- no go. I have taken to
supplementing with vitamins and other 'not really veggies but close
enough'
things like ketchup, etc. I have sun-dried tomatoes on pizza and I eat
salads but that's it. I know most of you want to say 'Just eat them!' but
it
really isn't that easy. I CAN'T do it! I can do corn, potatoes, peas (in
small quantities- if absolutely necessary) and almost all fruits (not
melon). So I guess what I'm getting at is that I SO wish I could eat
veggies
without getting sick because it would help a lot with this weight-loss
thing
but I'm not finding it possible.
With that- I need other alternatives. Very low point snacks? Filling,
yet low-point meals without many veggies? Good things to munch on when you
aren't really hungry but desire to eat/munch?
Ugggh. This veggie thing is one of my biggest frustrations.

Thanks again,
-Kara.
