I'm 34 and have been a picky eater for as Ling as I can remember. Trying new foods is such a tall task for me. When presented with the opportunity I feel sick to my stomach, irritated, and I feel a mental block preventing me from going forward. I have taken great strides in hiding it my entire life which has very often limited what I do socially. My limitation has caused stress and frustration amongst myself and my wife. Now I am a father of a 1 year old and one my largest goals as a father is to not allow my son to go down the same eating path as me. I just don't know how I can prevent his picky eating without addressing my own which I have been unable to do for so long.

Over the years I have come to believe that many of us actually got our picky eating through the gene pool. Have seen lots of cases where a child inherits picky eating from a parent. On the other hand many picky eating people have children who have no problems with food. One of our members has two boys and one of them eats worse than the mother and the other son will eat just about anything. I suppose you could pass your eating onto your child through your example but I would bet they will eat just fine and you have nothing to worry about. Many of us in our support groups share your experiences and you are not alone.
