Blured

I'm 16, but often I like the taste but the texture just seems inedible.

No, for as long as I can remember. My parents said I just slowly stopped eating. And it's only fruit I have to liquidise. Thanks for trying!

I just posted my own thread on this. We have the exact same problem. Theres a website link removed Thats the only online resorce I've managed to find. Does anyone in your family have Autism? My brother is severely Autistic and I always thought that may be related in some way.

I have the weridest eating habits. I wont eat; Meat, vegetables, pasta, most raw fruit (though if I liquidise fruit I can drink it), and many more things. It's not that I simply dont like these foods, but when I eat them it feels like they arent food, the texture is wrong. If I chew I gag. It's a phobia, not just me being picky. It's nothing to do with the fat content of food. I take multi-vitamins and I've seen specialists about my diet, and they say though it's not healthy, it's not terrible. I'm surpisingly healthy. Does anyone know about anything similar? it's more the social aspect of this that is the problem, I hate eating with people I dont know well - It's humiliating to have to say what I eat. I cant remember ever eating normally.

thanks, you guys have really helped me.

wow, thats really hard. friends often dont come when you go looking for them though, it's just happens. pm me too if you like, just try and work through it, happier times will come. theres a light at the end of the tunnel, and other cliches.

I'm aware I'm still young (16) but it's hard, I feel like the whole world is speeding ahead of me. And I know that this wont change for a long time..I'm really shy, especially around guys. Any encouraging stories or anything?!
