I have not had many people to talk to about this.
My story starts long long ago… when I was a toddler at dinner my family passed ketchup under the table. I was afraid of it. I didn’t want to even see it near me without crying.
You may not see the connection, read on friend…
Why I hate ketchup still today is valid.
SOUNDS: I am very sensitive to noise and the bottles back in the day were even louder I swear.
TOUCH: It is slimey and gross to wipe off
SMELL: It is a strong scent that is not appealing to me in any way
It was deeper than I could tell anyone about. Everything was. I struggled to eat most of my life. Eat enough or eat too much.
Sometimes the idea of eating is awful. I cannot force food in my mouth without getting nauseous. Anxiety and my emotions greatly impact my ability to eat.
I struggle in a BIG way with food choices. I have staples but they have to switch around. Most of the time I try something new I regret it a little. I am a creature of habit and consistency.
I eat pepperoni on pizza now. For many years cheese or I was OUT 🍕
I don’t eat salad or lettuce ever🥬
I have extensive thoughts on food if you have questions, let’s get into it! I’m not the expert in food but we have to talk about it more.
I have a lifetime of food issues.
DISCLAIMER: everyone is different! When I share experiences the intention is to educate and spark helpful discussion. Let’s help each other find answers.
