Fussy food eater

Ra_ja2002

I need help with my eating habits - im a 23 year old autistic woman and its always been a struggle managing my diet because I physicslly cannot stand the texture or taste or idea of most foods, I intake nothing healthy, no veg, fruit, salad, I intake no fiber foods, dont do canned food, ready meals, nothing with sauces, my food is very much so plain, bland, 

I rely on mostly pasta, meat, certain frozen foods like popcorn chicken etc and for the most part that is it, its been like this since I was very little and I just seem to get fussier and fussier, I have to become healthy and lose weight but I dont know how I can manage with what my diet is like 

I need help changing this but I dont know how to do it without torturing myself

  • Hi there. I’m 25 and I have this issue myself. I tend to eat more foods that are crunchy, I can’t stand anything soft or soggy etc. I mainly eat chicken though I occasionally have mini sausages, gammon and steak. I also don’t have sauces or dips etc. I also have pizza with no cheese (everyone says that’s not a pizza I have). 

    Im not medically qualified here so you may want to talk to your GP  but if this helps I do take multi vitamins. With the weight loss I also exercise (I mainly do ring fit). 

    I wish you the best

    It’s a shame pizza huts are closing, I’m not sure if they are all closing or some remain open. I heard something about the take aways staying open but I’m not sure. It’s a shame because there’s a Pizza Hut in Liverpool me and mum are hoping to go to for my birthday but it might be closed by then. Yeah no matter what company though my toppings are always ham and pepperoni with no cheese lol! Only cheese I eat are quavers and mini cheddar biscuits. 

    I used to have sausage patties as well but I haven’t been able to get them for ages, not even sure if mc Donald’s do them now
