I don't eat vegetables or fruits

Hey Everyone,

Dieting for me is a real nightmare. I do not eat vegetables or fruits. Well, I do like potatoes, corn, bananas and beans if those even count.

All the recipes call for veggies and I gag at the thought. I've tried for years to down veggies/fruits, but the crunch in the lettuce makes my head spin, the smell of cucumber literally makes me gag and I fear tomatoes (unless its ketchup). I blame it on my folks that never forced me to eat my veggies. They tried, but I was grossed out by veggies and fruits even as a kid and they gave up the battle because I would bring up whatever they forced down right at the dinner table.  =(     

All the trauma aside, when I try to lose a few pounds (I'm on a mission to lose 15 right now) I feel as if I have nothing to eat...  Anyone else out there have this problem?  Any alternatives or healthy recipes that I can apply?  I'm not opposed to cooking with vegetables to flavor the dishes, I just can't eat them (when A recipe calls for veggies I cut 'em up huge so I can pick 'em out).

Wow!  I thought i was alone in the world!  Potatoes and corn are about it - no fruit, although I love the taste - must be the texture.  I know folks think it's childish, but when I try to chew these foods, I gag.  I'm 46 and have been looking for help all my life :(
