I am... bad at this

So day one of training. After a light breakfast of two eggs, a light lunch of two hotdogs and some lettuce, i went to the grocery store to pick up foods to begin in earnest. Pounds of cabbage and pork buying later, I started to cook up a storm, while dranking a glass of whole milk and eating a third pound burger patty. I boiled around 6 lbs of food (estimated raw weight), and was hoping to get through a lot of it....

I shoveled about a quarter of it into a bowl, and started digging in. Within minutes, however, I began to hit a wall. The food was just so unappetizing, despite my best attempts to spice it up. Cabbage is still cabbage, and fatty pork is still fatty pork. About 20 minutes in, I realize that, although I'm starting to get full, the real problem is the way the fat feels in my mouth. Making me nauseous. I slowly get down the rest of the bowl, and throw in the towel.

This will be harder than I expected.

Swallow the fat whole if you don't like the taste.

@Zak - I don't understand how Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas can eat buffets and still stay so trim. I really ought to try and meet her...

@Tristan - that sounds gross.
