I had no idea there so many others going through the same thing. I feel so much better about myself I could cry right now.

I am 22 years old and am a very picky eater. My thing is mainly texture. My mom and husband will eat anything. My dad was picky with some things like salads but just like a normal level. My brother used to be as bad as me but with his relationship with his girlfriend getting more serious she is getting him to try more stuff and now he rags on me to try stuff. I feel isolated, especially since I just started a new job as an auditor. With this job we are out at clients alot so about 70% of the time we go out to eat and I dread it especially when I work with a new person and have to explain it all over again.

I mainly eat bugers but just cheese and ketchup, hot dogs the same but will add chilli sauce if it is from one of two locations. I love french fries, pasta with alfredo sauce (if the recipe is good) and tomato sauce but I have chucks of tomatoes. Mac and cheese is a big meal, pb&j is huge along with chicken as long as it is breaded and baked or fried. I only drink water apple juice chocolate and plain milk, and hot chocolate. Ill eat broccoli if it is mixed with mac and cheese (parents trick) but I can eat green beans without anythiny with it. And I love really buttery corn. Oh and bread is my best friend, white only I do not like wheat or anything else but white. Butter is amazing and I do like a lot of things you can make with bread.

I am sure there are pickier eaters but I still feel so isolated because I basically need to make sure I check menus for places we are going for food when at a client or just request we go somewhere with normal childrens food items. I am an outcast in that sense because everyone else in my office loves all kinds of food...

It feels good to vent somehwere I dont have to worry about being judged, thank you for this site!!!
