I have felt alone in this food battle my entire life. It's still hard to believe I'm not alone. The anxiety and stress related to this problem is never ending. I wish I could not worry about what food is going to be served at social occasions. Why can't I try new foods? It is so extremely embarrassing to live like this constantly making up excuses as to why I won't eat. Knowing I'm not alone gives me hope that there will be help for us someday. I would love to just be able to understand the why?
