I think I have some kind of phobia.

Like, I've been a REALLY picky eater since I was little {Well, now that I think about it, I ate a lot better when I was younger than I do now.}.

Now I'm so scared to try new things that isn't chicken or something. o_0

If I don't like the look or smell of something, I won't try it. Sometimes the smell even makes me gag.

I work at a conference center, so during our break they offer lunch or dinner, whatever time of day it is. If I don't like what they're serving, sometimes I sit there with nothing on my plate. It's embarrassing.

I'm not like, anorexic or anything. I'm short and I weigh 130, so..

I'm just worried that when I become a mother, if I do decide to, I won't be setting a good example for my kids, because I eat so much crap.

Does this happen to any of you? I don't know what to do..maybe I should talk to my psychologist about it?

Oh, I am just like you. In fact - I won't even eat chicken! You know the most healthy things I'll eat?

`Caesar Salads
`Steaks ((on the grill, nothing else))
`Beef Stroganoff ((Not too much sour cream, please))
`Tons of pasta
`Tons of bread
`And Corn on the cob ((Not off the cob, that's just gross. :\\ ))
`And artichoke.
`Fruits & fruit smoothies.

Everthing else I eat is unhealthy. Its so weird - I don't even like PIE-CRUST!!! And Like, I'll eat stuffing, but its not homemade, and I'll eat pasta-roni, but that's not homemade either. I'm right with ya on being WAY WAY WAYYYYY too picky. I'll put something very humble in my mouth, like CHICKEN, and then I'll have to gag it out. Its disgusting.

I'm not a picky eater at all.

But you know, you'll never know until you try it.

im not picky at all. ill try whatever is on my plate. if i dont like the first bite, i take another just to make sure. and if the second bite is just as worse, i dont eat it. just try it.

^^i agree. the food might be really good, just try it. you dont have to eat it if you dont like it, but it never hurts to try. you know that saying "never judge a book by its cover," well its kinda like that. never judge a food by its looks or smells.

sometimes the smell be funky...but the taste might be great.

lol..i try almost everything that is on my plate.

agreed. same here.

My sister is kinda like you. She tried something new and she threw up the next day. Now, she doesnt try anything new.
I'm opposite of her. I would try anything that looks yummy. U never know until u try.

Yeah, I'm just like you too, I'm a really picky eater (I won't eat most meats unless it's made a certain way or something, for example). I don't usually eat anything new if I know what it is and don't like the sound of it, or if it smells bad. But, because my boyfriend wants me to try new things, I've learned to suck it up and just try it out. And, once in a while, he'd feed me food without telling me just to see if I would like it without any preconceived notions.

Wow, I wish my boyfriend would do that. =( Just to show that he cares if I'm a well-rounded person or not. I would try ANYTHING if he wanted me to. =P
