Hi, I'm Maddie. I'm 18 and I've been picky ever since I could remember. My mom says that when I was about 3 I would start telling her that I don't like certain foods, starting with bananas. She thought I was just being a difficult toddler and tried to force feed me a banana. I remember, I threw up everywhere. I hate being a picky eater because the foods I do like aren't very healthy. I only eat corn and peas for vegetables and applesauce and dried apricots for fruits. I tried salad the other day for the first time in years and I gagged so much I almost threw up. I don't know what my problem is but I'm glad to see that there are other people similar to me. Thank you for this group. I will continue to share my experiences with you all and I hope that I can find help to have a healthier lifestyle.
