I hated chocolate in any form when I was a kid. I eventually outgrew this odd affliction, and I haven’t stopped _growing_ since!😉 ---

Plain milk. I didn’t mind it chocolate or with cereal, but on it’s own it was just gross. Now I crave it all the time. I also have a new found love for the colour pink. I have loathed it my entire life and now I just can’t get enough of it. ---

Among other things, this seemed to be the strangest. I used to really like eating bologna and hate salami as a kid. Now it’s the opposite - I almost can’t stand bologna anymore but salami is my fave cold cut. ---

Most of the stuff I like now, I also liked when I was younger. So, because of that, there are very few things I hated as a kid that now I enjoy. Green Beans Cold Weather Horror Books/Movies If I think of any others, I’ll let you know… ---

Odd how many of us have learned to like vegetables. I was a super finicky eater as a kid and now I’ll eat just about anything. I’ve even come to like brussel sprouts. Also like many of you, I’ve changed my sleeping habits completely. Whereas I used to sleep late every chance I got, I’m now out of bed at 6:00 a.m. everyday of the week. Go figure. I still don’t like cold weather, though. I’ve been miserable the past few weeks. Come on - give me 90 degrees and sunny. Let’s hit the beach. Let’s see some skin. ---

Mexican food. When I was a kid, all I’d eat were taco burgers (ground beef with taco seasoning). Now Mexican is my absolute favorite type of food. My mom’s cooking. Ok, I didn’t _hate_ it when I was a kid (well, some of it I did). But now that I’m all growed up, I kinda miss it. Don’t get over to the folks like I should. Naps. Going to bed early. ---

Chinese food. I hated Chinese food with a passion. Whenever my family would go to a Chinese Restaurant they had to get a babysitter because I would refuse to go. Now I love Chinese food. I even worked at a Chinese Food restaurant for a while.
