My problem is that I don't like veggies too much. But I do know they
would become my best friends in my weight-loss program. I've been on
cookies, pizza and ice cream lately. Of course I gained weight, and
quickly. On Monday I told a co-worker that I need to eat more veggies,
but wondered how I can stay motivated eating them day after day. His
answer was dynamite: He asked me if I want to look like our colleagues
H_ and R_ who have huge bellies. That really hit a string in me. I
think that's the push I needed. I've had a large portion of veggies on
Monday and Tuesday, but went off track a bit with too much chocolate
at the end of the night, but I am back on track today.

I would like to get some good receipes that would help me eating large
amounts of veggies. Thanks.

One of my tricks is to make a quick vegie soup from chicken broth,
frozen vegetables (like a broccoli/cauliflower/carrot medley), and a
tablespoon of salsa (for kick). Very low cal, very tasty, and
fiberlicious.

Whenever the family has spaghetti and sauce, I have vegies and sauce. I
steam or saute broccoli, squash, mushrooms, and onions and spoon a cup
of marinara over top. That and a side salad is a really filling meal,
and I'm still eating basically the same thing as the rest of the family.
In fact, DH has started stealing my vegies! I'll have to make more.

Dinner most nights is a bigass salad (use really good lettuce) with meat
from the entree. If we're having pork chops, I slice one up and throw it
on top of the salad. I'm too full to crave sides and starches.

There's lots of other ways to work in fresh or frozen vegetables, but
these are the ones that work for me easily and consistently.
