What I avoid - healthy foods such as chia, flax, and stuff like that in any real quantity. Its sooooooo calorie dense that I get fat even thinking about eating those things.
What I worry about is that having a lap band, I eat incredibly tiny amounts, so even though I make soups brimming with veggies and legumes, I don't eat much of it, I don't eat hardly any protein, I shudder at what all the chocolate is doing to me and I drink way too much coffee even though its decaf. And I wonder why my running is not going so well!
Sorry to the original poster, who was asking for support, not a list of what we're NOT doing. I personally think a carb/vegetarian tending diet, with meat maybe twice a week, but lots of chickpeas and lentils and veggies and such, low fat dairy, plenty of fruit and veg is what's healthiest - its what resonates for me anyway and what my medical team advised in general terms. I'd run a mile from the paleo, low carb high fat crowd. But each to their own.

You are interesting in the sense that you know what you should do, you know how to do it, you know the pitfalls and the positives but you don't do it. Life gets in the way, I really get that but for you it seems you feel a little hard on yourself for not eating better and are stuck in a rut.
You know me, I love running and I run a lot so I look at eating as a way to fuel my running which helps me make healthy eating decisions
Maybe having a goal like that to aim for will contribute to getting you to eat a little better for yourself, and not just for your family. Nothing wrong with lots of coffee and chocolate as Mrs Kiwi does that a lot too, but everything in moderation.
