I'm 36 years old and cringe everytime I have to make up an excuse when someone invites me to their house for a meal. I've been told since I was a small child that my food issues are weird. I got in trouble for not finishing dinner, unable to come up with answers as to why I couldn't eat certain things no matter how hungry I might be. And I would be sent to bed hungry. I think the reaction from family and friends/lack of support made the whole condition worse. Finding out that there are actually others like me is a huge sigh of relief.
