Hi, I have always been a picky eater. It's probably best to say what I do eat. I eat most sweets, cakes, crisps, cookies etc.. I do not struggle with snacks at all. I like and try most fruit. The only sandwiches I eat are plain cheese. When it comes to meals- I am a burden. I eat fries on their own, breaded boneless chicken, fish fingers, baked beans, jacket potato with cheese and beans, garlic bread, spaghetti with only parmesan and olive oil, beans on toast. I usually decline going out to eat with people unless I know for absolutely sure there is something I would eat. When I was younger, my parents would force food on me and I would have such a problem with the texture and taste of things. I would hide food in my pockets and cry at almost every meal time. My mother was not a very good cook so my theory is that at a young age it was programmed into my head that everything tasted bad except from the things that I was already accustomed to. My Dad finds it especially frustrating, even now. How many arguments we have gotten into because I don't like curry! I believe that I am becoming a little better, especially when under pressure from friends for example, I ate pizza for the first time at a friends house and ate parma ham with asparagus at a dinner party. I really want to start eating more foods before I start university as I know it will become a big problem there, for my social life. I am really trying to push myself.
