i spent a long time scared of salads, but now i'm at a point where i can handle them fine.
once i was handling cooked vegetables fine, i started trying salads. first a few bites of a friend's salad, then some after a good deal of white bread. now, as long as my stomach's not already upset, i can eat a salad fine. i find spinach the easiest green, but that might just be mental. i like to incorporate lots of SF veggies - carrots, mushrooms, avocado - and always have low-fat or fat-free dressing.
incorporating salad (and lots of vegetables in general) was actually a really important step for me in getting stable - i got my D under control relatively easily, but then i realized i was an A, and found myself uncomfortably, but not cripplingly, C. eating plenty of veggies is basically the only thing that keeps me not C. and it really just makes me feel better overall.
in fact, i think i'm going to have a salad today.
