#of being picky with my food

[catmask]

what is it about trying to learn health facts or hygeine or body care that after a certain point it tailspins into online fanaticism. why does my mom believe gut health powders meditation and sunlight mean she will never die or age. girl i just want to find a good yogurt brand

#we're trying different yogurts bc our kid (also has autism) is super super food picky #moreso than i ever was as a kid #forrest never had issues with food more sensory things like sound and heat/textile stuff #whereas i was super super picky BUT. i was always introduced to something of at least diff food groups #so even if i onyl atelike 6 things id always have One vegetable. One probiotic. One protein source. u get the deal #we only recently got our kid to start eating fish sticks and chicken and even beef! #so hes got protein down. before he only at chips and frozen mini pizzas. like thats literally it #and he eats bananas and strawberries. we got him vitamin/protein drinks for the time being so hes not nutrient deficient #and he likes those theyre chocolate #but we're trying to find a yogurt he doesnt mind bc he doesnt have like. any. digestive or fiber ro like anything ot help him #i dont want him to feel sick and sluggish all the time . we've had a lot of success with the drinkable yogurts #but talking abuot this made my mom start talking about gut health.......

“Picky eaters are made, not born.”

Uh-huh, no, tell me you don’t understand sensory disorders without telling me you don’t understand sensory disorders…

#autism #actually autistic #sensory issues #sensory disorder #picky eater #no it’s really not by choice that certain foods are unbearable to me #I really could do without being mocked and shamed for not wanting to fight my gag reflex in order to get certain foods down #especially when I could easily just eat something else

i’ve seen people make fun of others for having airpods or earphones or headphones in their ears all the time but for me it’s a way to control the things i hear and block out some of the things around me. it’s a sensory thing. it’s not meant to be disrespectful.

#adhd #sensory issues #i also have other sensory issues with not being able to touch specific things and im very picky with my food and it’s all. so hard #adhd things #adhd problems #adhd brain #adhd issues #adhd stuff #btw i know it’s not just adhd related and there are many other conditions that relate to this

Aziraphale trying his hand at cooking instead of dining out and of course, how hard can it be, he decides to do it French style, by which I don't mean baguette baking but abject failure and enthusiastic grit. and 9 times out of 10 it is barely edible which ofc means that he's suddenly (bastardly) not only offering it to crowley politely but actually insisting he try it, first all good-cop-style but when crowley realizes the burnt crisp he's supposed to eat used to be salad and he tries to refuse, aziraphale gets snippy á la you're a demon you should like terrible things and crowley just groans -- and secretly orders takeout, for both their sake. when it arrives aziraphale miracles his lovingly made food into the trash before the doorbell has even stopped ringing.

this does not stop him from trying again (and again) (and again -- until he actually gets better, and when crowley notices this and remarks on it very very subtly, this tastes shit, angel, but it doesn't wanna make me rip my tongue out, he beams at him so brightly crowley accidentally reheats the food)

#good omens #ineffable husbands #my omens #i love az being a horrible cook takes #i also love him making good food #I'm not picky I'll take all the scenarios

im so sick of the way being a "picky eater" is treated. stop forcing kids to eat foods they can't stand- all it does is ensure that they'll likely NEVER try that food as an adult. its not being a spoiled brat, its having an aversion to certain sensations, and witholding food until they eat what you want them to is fucked up. would you want someone to force you to eat something you didn't like?

#ive always been considered a picky eater #and to my parents credit they didnt force me to eat things they didnt like #partially bc they had to deal with that and didnt want to force that onto their kids #and yknow what? i didnt end up malnourished! surprise surprise! #sure my diet isnt 100% healthy but whose is?? #its not like i didnt try certain foods because i was being deliberately bratty #i just have a strong aversion to certain smells and will not try foods if they smell weird to me #and some foods have a texture that will make me gag until i throw up! #strongarming your child will most likely result in them refusing to eat ANYTHING #and its always better to have them eat SOMETHING than force them to go hungry!! #childhood is an important developmental time and they NEED to eat #sorry im just so tired of constantly seeing stupid bullshit posts on facebook about picky eaters #tibtalks

ik most of u dont agree with my ed tokyo ghoul takes and that’s fine. but there is something so validating about an almost entire cast of characters for whom eating is a task that inherently involves a lot of guilt and shame.

#rize having a bed. #shuu being very picky. #kaneki not being able to enjoy food as a social activity like he used to. #hinami growing up and not understanding the joys of childhood sweets #even touka’s cake monologue #the fact they live off coffee and water and nutrient cubes #gunk #I’d c what anyone says i have an ed and i will never be able to eat normally bc of it #i read tokyo ghoul through that lens of a person too disordered to eat normally ever again. #when you have lost that human necessity of enjoyment from food. when food becomes more dangerous than healing. #you might as well not be human #such a human pleasure has been stolen. it will never return. #people can’t understand unless they know it #my Mia got so bad i was throwing up 20 times a day #i truly hate food. it has taken so much from me #i want to be free #i bend over and vomit comes up because my body assumes that’s what I’m doing #it is a pain that no one will understand. recovery has left me. #tw ed #tw ed implied #tw Mia bs #chomp #tg gunk

man seeing my over active little dog go from a walk a day to barely being able to walk around my backyard fucking sucks. & then i have to deal with dodger feeling left out so hes puking everywhere to get attention orz

#personal #like im not being funny about this im like. genuinely upset seeing kiki basically falling apart over the course of a month like shes #still eating like the glutton she is but since my dads been overfeeding her out of love (unfortunately... im @ work too often to stop him) #her weights become such an issue its aggravating her already terrible arthritis & even tho i cut her food my dads been letting her eat what #dodger doesnt which is usually 1/2 his own bowl (hes bigger so he gets more food but is picky amount wise like a cat smdh) so shes still #overeating & its rly stressing me out lol... #my moms no help & my siblings are barely home so sldkjfslkfdjsldkfj fuck me ig ToT

Admin: which teammate do you pick to cook your Thanksgiving dinner?

Alpey, who has brought his own baked goods for the team before; therefore, should have the most credibility and trust to be skilled in the kitchen: *happily suggests himself as the best option for jabari*

Jabari:

#jabari is like the kind of person who works a 15 hr shift then complains abt her tired they are #and how they cant sleep bcs they have so much to do around the house #but wont let their husband cook for them bcs they want to do it themselves then complain abt having to do it themselves #moms who start vacuuming the house at 4am then complain about how theres no one helping #'MOVE. ILL JUST DO THE DAMN THING MYS E L F !' #*2 seconds after scaring charity away* why do i have to do everything myself.' #the trials and tribulations of the stubborn control freak #he later says 'im not letting anyone else cook my food for me. (i pick) me. jabari.' #just tearing out alpeys heart and stomping on it 😭 #picky ass eater who loves luxury jabari vs expired yogurt and carmel and chocolate syrup drizzled over it to feel fanciful alpey #bite #to the death #they literally asked this question last year??? before they banished gup to the gallows #alpey: alperen şengün 😄!!! ✨️ 🩵🩵 #jabari: 😐 #jabari (no grey matter): kill yourse- #why do they keep doing this to each other #alpey is the playful beloved family dog whos always in the room with the most people being pet 24/7 for being there & sweet #and jabari is the odd and aloof cat who has sporadic springs of affection and wacky affection #and will usually show himself when hes about to cause trouble for no apparent reason at no apparent schedule #like creeping over to a sleeping alpey and skippity papping him in the head without rhyme warning or reason #then taking off #zero apology or context given

I will never in my life understand this i dont like veggines i have to force myself to eat them as an adult thing. like. ever

#i tried to come home w that shit once when i was like 5 cuz i was copying #some kid at school. and my mom looked at me raised an eyebrow and said. who taught you this. youve never had this. dont be stupid. we dont #have money for being picky like this anyway. eat your damn vegetables #never an issue again lmaooo #anyway i was the kid that excitedly asked for broccoli in the store #i was never treated like EaT YoUr VeGeTabLes and shit which is probably part of it. it wasnt a thint #it was just a normal food like all else #like i wasnt raised w this idea that theyre like a kind of food or separate part of diet or something i have to do it was just what u ate

[gayspock]

my dad is so effing weird & childish fr -_-

#Egg.txt #he neverrrr cooks for my little brother or gets him any food #its always me and my mam who buy him stuff #& yet he criticises US constantly for''not feeding him'' when we literally both work full-time (& my mam more than) #AND tbh my brother is just a v picky eater + usually just wants to eat when he chooses to ... so its best for him to cook whenever #anyways he ate all the food i bought for my brother & when i criticised himf or this he was like FINE & made chicken for my mam and brother #but it was like. pink. completely raw. (bear in mind he literally is a '''''chef''''') and slimy #and my mam wouldnt eat it and my brother wouldnt either so he screamed at them all for being ungrateful #& said that me and my brother were weak and pathetic bc of the way my mam acts ... #and then he ate the whole packet of rocky road i bought for the family to share & put it in my brothers bin to try and blame him #literally what the freaking hell #weirdo moves

thinking abt like. if you introduce someone to something you're into and they're like, wow, that's so awesome, you're probably tickled that they dig it and are seemingly a kindred spirit at least that far; if you then introduce them to another thing you're into and they're again like, wow, that's so awesome, you're probably still pleased but also perhaps guiltily wondering whether they know any other adjectives; and if you introduce them to a third thing and yet again they're like, wow, that's so awesome, you're probably asking yourself, was any of that affirmation actually real or is this person just so reflexively accommodating that they've been turning off whatever independent critical faculties they possess in order to play a better yes-man???

(for values of 'you' that primarily mean 'me' obviously)

#just thinking a lot this week abt like. on the one hand i SO deeply need people to be kind and exhibit a readiness to be pleased #and i'm so relieved and grateful when i encounter that energy #but like. on the other hand i need to feel like i actually meet your standards‚ not like you don't HAVE any? #like. if a golden retriever wants to be pals it means nothing. if a cat wants to be pals it means everything #and like. if we're being honest i'm very very very picky abt. everything. i was going to specify areas but. it's all of them. #i just try not to actively be a dick abt it to anyone's face bc i think that's really important #(and like. i did a slightly less good job of hiding that in certain ways this week than i probably endorse so i'm thinking abt that) #(like i think the problem is that it always feels v important to be clear abt my tastes/Who I Am bc i want to be Understood) #(but like. sometimes ppl just aren't the sort of people who are going to Understand me and i need to get better abt cutting bait) #(and prioritizing courtesy abt their tastes over clarity abt mine in those cases) #idk. have very extremely not resolved the tension between my various values here #basically like goldilocks i need everything to be juuuuuust right which like. perfect IS the enemy of good and i know it!! #but at the same time like. it IS better to be alone than to be with people who chafe you raw. #but maybe eventually if you let them sand you into a new shape it'll be good? but. feels bad to be sanded. #anyway. strongly suspect this is not actually a coherent post i'm very sleepytired #this week was really really challenging and left me with a lot of food for thought. also some pie

the absolute vicious shit people think they have to say whenever the topic of 'picky eaters' comes up ESPECIALLY when it's about children is just sickening

#post : my child doesn't like carrots so I #rando : WELL I WOULD JUST *describes a thousand different ways to abuse a child* AND IM THE NORMAL ONE HERE #adult : i can't eat fish because #rando : LMAO GROW UP WHAT ARE YOU 5 FUCKING IDIOT LOL JUST STARVE FISH HAS GOOD VITAMINS JUST KYS #have y'all tried not being dicks about other people's diets ffs #especially when it's like. a video showing how a parent is successfully introducing new foods to their picky kid #like Oh they only like cheese crackers so i'm gradually nudging them towards grilled cheese sandwiches with these steps #and then hopefully use the grilled cheese as a base to introduce other types of sandwiches etc #and it's just. it works. it's respectful of the kid's boundaries. it's healthy. #and Still a thousand people just jump to say INSTEAD OF DOING THIS THING THAT WORKS TRY BEATING HIS ASS (WHICH WONT WORK) #so many people are fucking eager to tell you they Love violence against kids who have no way to defend themselves #that they're fucking sludgebrains who haven't come up with actual parenting techniques #so all they know is ''hit child'' or ''yell'' like a fucking level 1 pokémon #that they view the small young people they have agreed to take care of as dolls that must obey or get thrown against the wall in a tantrum #if your entire plans for parenting are ''i'm just gonna use violence until my human toything complies'' don't become a fucking parent #Anyway this was about picky eating and how people don't know how to mind their business about it #why are you so pressed about what someone else Doesn't put in their mouth. why are you so weird #humans come with a variety of tastes in anything from fashion to colors to home decor to favorite animal #and you can't fucking fathom that they'll also Not all want or like to eat the same things ? fucking cringe

Luigi master of the beans, worked in a Starbucks in Highschool, now a regular in the Beanbean Kingdom, makes the best cup of coffee in the morning every day for Mario, who could absolutely just drink whatever whenever and is not picky about his morning Joe at all but he loves the flare Luigi puts into it

#Mariocest #I'm just gonna start posting headcanons now I NEED to be THE Mariocest blog it's important #I need you all to see me as the guy for Mariocest #Also I just need to get thoughts out of my head so I'm just gonna say them as they come #today years old when I learned Starbucks is not actually spelled with an X oh boy #Luigi does not drink coffee it's too hard on him tumby and just makes his anxiety feel worse #Mario however is NOT a morning person and needs the stuff #His favorite is the Hoolumbian though really he could drink whatever #Picky about food not so much about drink that's my Mario take #It's made with love and that makes all the difference #Mario says he's not picky about his coffee but making instant by himself when Luigi's visiting the BeanBean Kingdom or whatever #Is one of those things that really really really makes Mario feel the Missing Luigi Lonleyness set in #There's so much depressing about waking up before he wants to and drinking hot coffee alone in their kitchen #He hates being in the house when Luigi isn't there #now I'm just running through all my thoughts but I've said these ones before so it's fine #Take this post I'm off to bed

when i tell you i would literally starve to death before eating a lot of foods i fucking mean it

#i think that what people hear when i say i can not eat something is i do not like it and i would rather not eat it #i am not exaggerating or being dramatic #the list of things that i would actually die before eating is extensive #when i was a kid there were literally only three things that i would eat and no matter what my parents did i would not eat anything else #when i was a baby i would not eat baby food #people who say this is just pickiness and poor parenting are wild because you have no idea how hard my parents tried #arfid #personal log
