Wow! People like me! I never knew, being picked on my whole life I just assumed I was the only one. I'm 48 and of course get told I'm going to die soonish... I've had check ups and test run and they all come out alright. I've taken a multivitamin for years with a lot of antioxidants in it. I do not eat fruits or vegetables (except bananas and potatoes/corn on the cob) I also hate mixed up foods, new american dishes anything foreign. What bothers me the most is the bullying I get at work or in social situations. I workout 3-4 times a week, and am not overweight. I order off the kids menu most of the time too, or cut my meal in half and take it home (I get flack for that too). In my childhood I was raised by a vegetarian who beat me and forced food down my throat at dinner time. I think that is where most of my food issues come from, but now reading all your comments I'm not so sure. I too hate smells and textures. Anything green coming from the ground I just picture a cow chewing grass.... I just can't do it. Well up until this week. I''ve been reading Tony Robbins and I got inspired to just try things. So far I'm trying things that I am okay with the smell and textures. Nuts, dried fruits....its going well. Nothing making me gag but I'm not finding any of it just out of this world delish 🙂 I'm going to keep trying. My mother in law just passed at 60 from starving herself (we only saw her eat cheese crackers, goldfish most days) Her organs finally just stopped working. So thats prompted me to at least try. I'm so glad to have found this site. I believe if you get tested, take your vitamins and do the best you can (protein intake) it will all be fine. But I'm trying for myself, I too would love to just eat at a freakin restaurant without all the attention.
