Is it possible?

Hardly anything i eat is 'healthy'. The only veg i like is peas ( i can sometimes eat bubble and squeak, with cabbage,broccoli,peas and sprouts in) and the only fruit i like is apples, but i have to 'fancy' them to be able to eat them.

Most meals are it are straight forward things such as beans on toaast, chicken and chips, fish fingers and waffles and things like that.

I really need to start eating healthily... i dont like sandwiches ( unless its cooked meat on them) so during the day i tend to snack on junk just because all i need to do is get them out of the cupboard! Im so lazy when it comes to cooking in the day.

Im starting to put on loads of weight, i dread it when i weigh myself but i can just tell by looking at me, it wouldnt suprise me if ive put on more weight than i did during my pregnancy ( 10lbs ) and its starting to get stupid!!

Is it possible to MAKE yourself eat healthily? Say if i make myself a salad, i know i dont like it, but if i keep eating it will i 'get used to it'?

I seriously need to do something, but its just so hard when you dont like anything healthy in the first place ..

Think so. You should buy a few of those premade fruit salads in tesco or something. They have lots of different fruits in it so you can taste them all and you never know, you might like it. Ive found my tastes have changed as Im getting older, maybe yours have too?

I'm more or less the same.. I can't stand sandwiches unless they're cooked chicken and something like french bread, I hate normal bread unless it's toasted, most of my dinners are 'bung in the oven for 30mins' with no fruit or veg and I just cannot be bothered preparing food - I don't like it enough!

Soo.. I just went cold turkey and only bought healthy things when I went shopping. I do like a fruit salad, even though I can't eat the individual fruits on their own - don't ask, it's weird lol.

So I've just cut out things like chips and sandwiches and replaced with cold new potatoes and/or salad. For lunch I'll have a pasta salad or an omelette with salad and then a big fruit salad with some meat for dinner and maybe some potatoes.

It's nowhere near very exciting but it's better than what I was eating. And as I don't really care for food in the first place, I'm not too fussed.

Oh, and it may sound gross but fruit mixed in with rice is really nice too. Again, I can't eat the fruit on their own though lol

So you are making yourself eat healthy food in preparation for pregnancy? That is a good move on your part. The baby in your womb will need all the healthy food he/she needs. Remember the mother will eat twice as much when with a child. Junk food will not do it.

Don't think about what you want or don't want for now. Think about the baby first. That is what you want after all, right?
