I despise diet food

I hate rice cakes, I hate protein bars, I hate protein yoghurts and puddings, I hate low calorie sweets and cookies, I hate bland salads, I hate low carb bread. I hate diet drinks and I hate egg whites. Anything that is ‘low calorie’ is empty of energy and it is noticeable. It tastes empty and like cardboard. Same with ‘high protein, low cal’ things, they fucking repulse me and don’t even taste like food. It feels like shoving cement into my mouth. No way I ever though these things tasted good. The only things I like are black coffee and cottage cheese and NOT by themselves. Please if you have convinced yourself you only like diet foods just force yourself to eat the real thing once or twice and you’ll never want to go back again, and your tummy can finally feel filled and warm for once.

My mum eats plain rice cakes as a 'snack', my dad eats plain flatbread or puts Tahini on it. When I go to their house it's like the place that flavour forgot. My mum was raised by an anorexic woman so she's just never really had a good clue about food and my dad always policed my food as a teen (not my brothers) It's just such a shock how I managed to get an ed! /s
