I'm 19 and still eating like a kid. I don't really recall how my whole thing started, but I started denying fruits and vegetables probably around age 4 and my parents never forced me to eat them. I remember choking on a green bean at 3 but i still occasionally ate them after that. Basically I grew up on chicken nuggets, certain french fries, macaroni and cheese, pasta, and cheese pizza. That's still mostly what I eat today. I eventually warmed up to steak and plain cheeseburgers, but now I am not a big fan of steak. I like chicken, ham, and some seafood. I can eat tomato sauce on pasta but i'm afraid to try tomatoes. I get anxious when I think about the textures of many fruits and vegetables, and can vomit at the smell of something like a banana.

Basically, I am here today for advice on desensitization. I'm in college, and I have recently started to gain weight and I want to stop it before it gets worse. I have knowingly been anemic since I was 14 (at the time it was very severe). I am concerned about future health problems and I want to start treating my issues before it is too late.
