Getting sick of certain foods so quickly- canceling mentality

[Anonymous]

Growing up and when I was single (yesteryear) I remember never questioning what was for dinner at home. If I needed to eat out, I grabbed food from places that were on the way home from work to feed my hunger out of convenience- eating was just a functional act/need.

My husband and kids aggravate me to
no end about what to eat, not just at home but even on where to eat, what fast food place to go to. I stopped cooking; thank goodness we can afford eating out a couple times a week.

Now I find I’m like this, I don’t know what I want to eat either! Not motivated to cook at all where before it was just what I did (SAHM). I don’t even know what to order at restaurants. Anyone else like this? I am stunned st myself, we are all so spoiled.

Np, and it dawned on me recently that nothing really satisfies me anymore-- food and otherwise. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I am in my mid-40s and remember being easy to please with restaurants, favorite foods, etc.

You might want to try a 5/2 diet where you fast for two days and then eat very small meals of the same thing for the other five days. Say cold cereal with milk for breakfast, a peanut butter sandwich on wheat or pita bread for lunch, and a salad of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers with a springling of tofu and balsamic vinegar.

This will re-set your appetite after a few weeks.

That's like 750 calories. A few days of that I wouldn't be able to focus! Weeks?!
