Hi! It sure is nice to know there are other people out there that eat like me! I'm 52 and have eaten this way my whole life. My mother said everyone tried to get me to eat but I would spit it out or sit and cry. I remember those days when I was little where you had to "sit until you ate it all". I would sit, not eat, then get ice cream later. 🙂 I only eat about 10-15 things and it sure does get boring. I have been married 2x and after my second husband died, I've found another wonderful man. All of them were very understanding of my eating habits. I can cook anything! I just don't eat it. I can eat baked potatoes, french fries, mashed potatoes and gravy, froot loops, spaghettios, Campbell's tomato or chicken noodle soups (without the chicken) and a few other items that are also bland. The only fruits I eat are bananas, canned pears, and orange juice. I eat no meat or vegetables. I am fairly healthy and teach 4th grade. My new boyfriend has 4 kids and 2 are somewhat picky but not near as bad as me.
I hate going to restaurants because everyone always comments "Is that all you're eating?" Yes! I didn't seem to hear them ask the other people, "You're eating all that??" lol . I know which restaurants have the good fries and will demand they take them back if cold or mushy. 🙂 . Thank you for letting me know you're all out there. Makes me feel better!
