Food issues

Hi all,

I was wondering if i could describe the issues ive had with eating in general all my life, and see if it rings bells with anyone?  Basically i go through spells of not being able to eat because food doesnt "look" right, it doesnt look how i think it should look - either the shape, colour or texture just doesnt feel like it should. Also if the packaging isnt perfect, or isnt how it normally looks - then i just cant process it, its like a total block and i end up feeling like theres just too much information whizzing through my head.  Other times i seem to be able to get past it - but thats not so often.  Im waiting for my assessment, likely itll be a while, but my food problems are one of the longest and most intrusive problems and one of the main ones that made me seek help

Thanks all

  • I think my worst ones is pies. I like to cut the lids off, empty the filling onto the lid of the pie and eat it like toast. I the use the potato portion ( chips mash etc) to eat the sauce from the pie and I only eat the pie base and sides last. I don't pick eating pies out just in case it is a pot pie and there is no base and sides. Also not sure others would appreciate this method of eating pies in a restaurant...
