childhood and adulthood

Love and hate

Love and hate are the opposite ends of the same spectrum though they seem like worlds apart. Its funny how we love and hate certain things in our life. Some things I have hated as a child have now become my favorites as I grow older. Veggies and greens were my enemies and made me hate food time. Today I cooked some spinach and veggies from my garden and I look forward to lunch time. I could never eat spicy food, now all I want is some spice and hot chilly peppers in my food. The tallest heels I could find on any shoe.. now I wear only flat shoes all the time.. my back is in bad shape. Sleep time now I embrace it lovingly. Things that I loved in childhood I hate now Bright colors in lipsticks and clothes now I wear the softest colors I can find. Shopping .. its a chore now. Discipline.. I see its value now and embrace it in my life. Snacking - I avoid it like a plague. What are the things that have changed from love to hate in your life?

@else34 Papaya was one fruit I didn't care for.. now like you I eat it regularly. I still take history with a pinch of salt.

I ate veggies when I was a child because I had no choice but now vegetables are my number one choice. I also have shifted from high heels to low heels and I now think wearing high heels is a stupid thing.

@sofssu thanks thanks, but it's not that big of a deal really. Like breaking any habits, you just gotta find something else to do. I gave up smoking the same way 5 years ago.

@KnehKnah Hmm.. I guess no one should love meds. Or rather no one should be forced to love meds. I know what you mean here. Keep taking them and take care. (( hugs))

@sofssu If I only have a choice, I will forever hate meds. But they'd been with me since I was in my elementary. It all started with a fever then convulsion then surgery of this & that, treatment for this & that... the list go on & on. So, meds are to stay with me, for better or for worse. Ha! Ha! Ha!

@sofssu I guess the biggest one is staying tidy and organised. I used to be very untidy but now I have my own home I like things to stay tidy. I also clean a lot more than I did before I was married!

Did you know that spicy foods actually help the metabolism? And I do just the opposite of avoiding snacks like the plague. LOL

There were several vegetables that I hated when I was a kid and I eat now, among them spinach and bell pepper. When I was a kid I ate liver and now I cannot even look at it.

@LadyDuck Same here I used to hate spinach.. no amount of Popeye cartoons could change that for me.. now I grow them and eat them almost every other day. Liver, kidney, brain or any of those spare parts still fill me with disgust.
