ha ha, enjoyed your posts. Good job on the weight loss, I'm impressed! Well maybe you'll get used to the foods, if you eat that way long enough you might actually crave it! After moving to Asia, the first year I was indifferent to rice. Then I started to appreciate it and now I love it, find it so appetizing. Just had brown rice for dinner yesterday and will probably have it for lunch. Love that miso soup, too - the japanese eat it every day (most of them). It's new for you but you really might learn to LOVE it!!
