Anyone Else Almost Constantly Afraid Of The Long Term Damage Of Having Arfid And Possible Diseases And

Anyone else almost constantly afraid of the long term damage of having arfid and possible diseases and health problems you’re going to have when you’re older? But can’t do anything about it because your safe foods are not healthy but it’s what you got and you’re afraid to try new foods and ways to get the nutrients your body desperately needs? No? Just me?

any other arfid folks feel like certain foods smell really good, but taste horrible? like you know you wouldn't be able to eat it but it still smells good. or is this just a Me thing

Okay usually i dont bring stuff like this up but keep your pro-ana and thinspo stuff out of the arfid tag for fucks sake. Im trying to look for people with similar experiences, not get triggered about my weight

a quick summary of life with arfid is just:

no i have never eaten a tomato in my life but yes i will still eat ketchup and no i don’t eat peaches or grapes or watermelon but yes i will still enjoy their artificial flavors in candy and yes i like the smell/texture/look of mushrooms but no i will never eat them and if you held a gun up to my head i could probably quickly swallow and orange slice but i would much rather get shot than have to eat a single pea and really if you want to invite me over for dinner please just give me chicken nuggets and fries with nothing else this is your safest bet yup thank you.

Me: i can't eat this. I've eaten it before and it was awful.

Parents: but I made it differently this time

Me: that's worse, how do you not see that

Reminder that shitty food is always better than no food

That it’s better to eat the same thing for every meal than nothing at all

That it’s okay that you only ever have an appetite for a couple of things.

You have to eat

And you have to eat enough.
