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

  • Hello,

    I was often thought of as a fussy eater as a child and still am but have you ever heard the term Avoidance Food Restricted Intake Disorder? This was a light bulb moment for me as it explained so much. Like you, I struggle with food textures but I do my best to eat healthy and enjoy fresh fruit such as apples, bananas. Eating out can be a pain trying to find something I can eat but stick to soups and have enjoyed new varieties.
