Wow! Another person that is sorta like me. My parents say that I used to eat most everything until I was about 3, when I started removing one food item at a time from my diet, until I was about 13--I don't each much more of a variety than I did at 13.
It's easier to list the things I like vs. the things I don't like. Unlike you, my mother cooked nutritious meat, vegetable, starch meals every night, even if she did murder the vegetables until they were mush.
I've discovered that my dislike is more because of texture than taste, although there are several foods that I can't stomach the taste. I have a super fast gag reflex, so even when I try to eat new things or things I used to like, I'm rarely successful because of the texture, and I start gagging. There are SO many things I've missed out on in my life because of my embarrassment of my diet. I don't go places I'd love to go because I know I won't like the food and I could go on and on. I'm a huge foodie of watching food shows on TV; I love watching the competition shows and seeing the foods the chefs create, but I know I could never eat most of what they cook. It is my life, I wish it was different, but I've given up trying to change it, and I'm getting better about apologizing for it. Thanks for writing about it .
