If a food that once felt “safe” suddenly isn’t anymore — you’re not doing anything wrong.
This is often called a food jag, and it’s a very common ARFID experience.

Safe foods can change with stress, sensory shifts, illness, or nervous system overload.
That doesn’t mean you failed — it means your body is communicating.

A few gentle ways to navigate it:
• Drop the pressure to replace it right away
• Lean into other accessible foods
• Remember: eating something > eating a specific food
• Let foods come and go — safety isn’t static

Food jags aren’t regression. They’re information.

Eating can feel scary when your brain and body don’t sense safety—you aren’t alone. 🧠💜

This isn’t about being “difficult” — it’s your nervous system protecting you. The first step? Building felt safety and reconnecting with your body.

Grab practical strategies in the ARFID Workbook (link in bio!) to support your nervous system and discover what works for you.

I love helping clients think through and plan how to navigate holiday gatherings in ways that feel safe, supportive, and enjoyable.

One of my favorite parts of this work is seeing clients advocate for their needs instead of trying to squeeze themselves into neuronormative expectations around holiday eating.

Here are some ways my clients have advocated for and met their needs to create more ease during the holidays 💜..

Thanksgiving doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. 🍂 For those with ARFID, skipping traditional foods or creating your own holiday rituals is completely okay. Your traditions, your comfort, your celebration.

Hope you have a nice holiday whatever that looks like for you 💜💚

Running out of safe foods can feel overwhelming with ARFID. 🥺

Some with ARFID may experience something called a scarcity mindset—panic, rationing, or avoiding new foods can show up.

If this is something you experience, you are not alone. 💙

💡 Tips: small backups 🛒, adjacent safe foods 🌱, regulation tools 🧘

If you have ARFID or suspected ARFID and notice that comments or pressure around food feel like rejection — it makes sense. 💛

💬 Comments about eating, pressure to try new foods, or even “failing” at a food goal can hit deep when rejection sensitivity is part of the picture.

Rejection sensitivity isn’t a formal diagnosis, and research on it in ARFID is limited to non existent. Much of what I share in this post comes from listening to and learning from my clients and those with lived/living experience.

If anything in this post resonates with you or you have anything you would like to add, please share 👇🏻 💚
