Hey! I am very glad I found this website and I've been talking to Marla and I am very happy that it all happens. For years, I thought I was the only one like so and it was such an amazing feeling when I found out that I was not the only one.
Since I was two (I am not 22), I only eat french fries as my main meal. I eat other foods too but not too many. I eat bread but not all kinds of bread. I don't eat meat and veggies. I eat fruit but very limited amount of fruit. I always eat grilled cheese for breakfast, for lunch, I can go with french fries (preferably with cheese sauce) or crepe. I rarely have dinner but when I do, i usually just eat french fries again. My favourite snacks are chips, peanuts, and chocolate bars.
It's been really hard growing up as an adult who is picky eater in Indonesia because there are so many foods that I cannot eat here. I tend to go to the same restaurants and order the same meal.
Getting a weird look from people I just met is not a rare thing for me. And I actually kind hate it when they keep asking me about my situation. I even got forced by my teacher when I was in my first grade to eat normal. Of course I refused.
I keep saying that I'm still full or that I already ate whenever I am offered a food that I don't eat and sometimes it feels rude to me but I have to do that. Otherwise, I probably will puke.
And I've been having a hard time to fit in with new people due to this condition. Few days ago I even cried because I will be in a strange new place for a month this December with people I barely know. I cannot bail on that since it is a required activity from my campus.
I currently need someone that is like me to talk to. I've been talking to people around me but they just don't get it because they don't share the same experience as I do.
