Hi, My name is Stephanie. As long as I can remember I have always been a picky eater. It was always hard a family gatherings, holidays, or even dating. No one seems to understand that I don't choose to be this way and how I would love to be "normal". instead of a 'vegetarian" I call myself a "breadatarian". I pretty much eat anything bread, rolls, pancakes, waffles. My lunch is usually some type of crackers, Peanut butter or cheese crackers. I eat peanut butter sandwhiches, fries, cheese sticks chips. Basically junk food or "kid food" as I've seen a lot of people refer to it on here. the only meat I eat is bacon, and has to be very thin and crispy. Most think of my bacon as burnt. I will eat the sausage and cheese balls. The only fruit I eat is apples, and the occasional grape, but usually grapes are a bit to sour for me. I like peanuts by themselves and wouldn't think of eating them in any kind of chocolate, it makes me gag. It has a always been a struggle in a social way. I always have to think about where I go if they will have food for me to eat. A lot of times for any functions I go to I will have to eat before I go or wait until its over to eat. My boyfriend seems to think it isn't a disorder and it's just a fear and I wont conquer my fear. I think it is much more than that. A lot of food smells make me nauseous and I feel I have a weak stomach. it's nice to know I am not alone. I have only read a handful of these, but I look for forward to seeing everyones story.
