I ate what they cooked or I didn’t eat
Never do I remember my mother asking what we wanted.She cooked it and we ate it.She believed in having 2 vegetables at our main meal everyday,a green and a yellow.Whether we ate them was not an option.I hated most vegetables except tomatoes and cucumbers.I would just hold my nose and choke them down.My sister would sit at the table for 2-3 hours,would finally eat them when they were cold and really nasty.
I eventually learned to like them,like all vegetables as an adult.

My wife has done almost all the cooking, but besides eliminating things such as fried foods, white rice, white bread and pasta, there won’t be too much we’ll have to do to eliminate a ton of carbs. Breakfast will have to be healthier, but I usually make that so no issues at all.
Never do I remember my mother asking what we wanted.
The main thing we have to do is slow down and not eat out so much (eliminate fast food mainly, but I can make healthier selections at restaurants as well). We’re on the go a lot with sports and dance, but we need to better plan dinner.
Adding that to working out 4-5 times a week, and I believe I’ll be able to lower my A1C of 6.6 without medication.
The only question I asked is what your meal planning looks like from those going through the same thing. If you’re dealing with the same thing, please share it.
