Hello all. I came across this site during my recent Google search on how to overcome picking eating. I've learned in a matter of minutes that it is considered an eating disorder in some circles.

My biggest issue that plagues & has plagued me is texture & smell of certain foods, namely vegetables.

I had some blood work done yesterday as part of my yearly physical & I got a phone call today about my cholesterol & triglycerides. It was expected, because I've heard it before from other physicians.

I don't really know what to do, I've added different things to my palate over the years, but after 32 years, vegetables of just about any type appall me. My palate expanded greatly during my time in the military, because I was so hungry during basic training. I've had other instances where I was able to overcome & add other things to my diet, most notably when I started working out routinely or trying to be an example to my children.

It's still a long road ahead, but I'm sure it will get better with time. Hopefully we can figure something out together.
