Picky eating is now an eating disorder

if u had a breakdown and started crying every time u picked up a new food in fear of throwing up or getting sick, and u were on vacation eating the same 3 things that don’t make u feel that way, id be tired and cranky too

It's always been an eating disorder. No one wants to be a picky eater. They always apologize and wish they didn't feel this way. I'm a professional chef and I can promise you that picky eaters have shame and are disappointed that they're Afflicted with this

Aww the “afrid” people who parents never forced them to eat anything else as a kid lol

I have Adult Selective Eating Disorder. It sucks. It’s an ocd like anxiety based thing and I have no clue why I’m like that. I’ve gotten slightly better as an adult because I’ve sought out ways to get proper nutrition, and found ways to get fruits/veg w/out gagging

I miss myself. I’m a picky eater. It’s probably one of the things I like least about myself, but with that said, I just go with the group if people wanna go places, I’ll figure out something or I just won’t eat and find something later. Don’t put out other people because you don’t like something.

She's not a picky eater, she's en adult who grew up with bad parents who placated her good intake her entire childhood. They let her eat junk food because "she's a picky eater" and she hasn't grown out of it. I have a 9 yr old nephew right now doing the same thing. The entire family is annoyed at mommy who allows it to happen. You know how to stop it? You eat what's cooked for dinner or you go to bed hungry.. Kids will hold out less than a day before that delicious lasagna mom cooked looks really good. But when kids see the lasagna and say, "ewww I dooon't waaaant it". So mommy excuses them from the table and then brings corn dogs or pizza to their room later on.. You get "a picky eater"

My daughter is 5 and I'm guessing she has this thing. She has like 5 safe foods. We are working on breaking now before she becomes older. But it's true vacations are challenging.

Bruh it’s two women trying to decide what to eat 😂 it’s almost impossible

It s way of dealing with some kind of trauma or anxiety . Being extremely picky gives them some sense of control. As someone with actual food restrictions because of MCAS and food allergies, I find these people annoying as they appropriate my actual condition. However, there are so many in California that no one bats an eyelash when I have to order off menu here. Yeah, please enjoy the food on vacation. Some of us can’t. 😖

Maybe I have a disorder because I stick with foods I like. So I can go to a restaurant and be able to choose something off the menu easily
