﷽
Noo!! I was gonna comment this!! 😆😆
Buck Up.
I felt so alone in my “picky eating” struggles. My parents used to tell me “if you don’t eat this, you’ll starve!”
And starve I did. I would rather starve to the point of hospitalization instead eating things like celery or chili. This isn’t picky eating.
My thoughts around food are black and white. Something is either good or ABSOLUTELY REPULSIVE.
Thank you! It’s not picky eating... and I always got so offended when called that my entire life, because I didn’t choose to have these “picks” I didn’t pick them lol. It’s a terrifying feeling trying new things and it’s even worse when absolutely nobody understands. Mealtimes were so stressful... not being able to leave the table because you couldn’t finish your tomato soup, sitting there crying to the point of throwing up. But yeah no, totally chose to be like that.
@@skylamei I was diagnosed with arfid 2 years ago, and my mother had to force me to eat for many years. In particular, i absolutely hated rice. I couldn't stomach the taste of rice at all. I would hide food, leading to a really bad roach problem.
I'm 21 now and i eat better, but i still struggle with the amount i eat, and thinking food is unnecessary. I've been drinking milk and protein shakes for many years, as a means of gaining nutrition without having to eat. I like soup, meat, and crackers as well.
It's not just not liking certain foods, It's a fear of choking, extreme textural avoidance (amplified by my aspergers), and a view that food is unnecessary at times.
true, using fear as a tool for control just doesn't work on some people. notice, “if you don’t eat this, you’ll starve!” is trying to force you to do a certain action out of fear. this tactic is commonly used by the government as well "take the vaccine or die" "pay taxes or go to jail" people have no idea how to deal with those who are content with accepting the consequences. we live in a fear based society and that's slowly starting to change. fear is constantly being used to control others in this system.
Natural selection
I'm a little confused by this doc. Since the age of about 5 I completely stopped eating all Veg and fruits, along with some other foods such as fish. I'm not even sure why I'm so afraid of food, (the fear of throwing up maybe?). Every time I've tried certain fruits or veg, it's either the taste or texture that I just can't deal with. What I'm struggling to understand, is some people are going on about the fear of choking, which has never been an issue for me? Is Arfid the fear of dying, or just the fear of food itself for whatever reason?
You can die from walking out of your door in the morning. Humans die in horrible ways, you can die anytime, anywhere, any place. Just depends how the universe is feeling that day.
Bradley Smith right? Universe “I feeeeeeel like fucking up peoples lives riiiiiight abooooout now.” *explosion*
Bradley Smith but why raise the odds with risky behaviors that can be avoided?
Thanks. That just sent my anxiety through the roof.
Theres no point in worrying about it. It's bound to happen. Be safe but a sheltered life is no way to go
@@saruhhhh that's not true. Wrong place wrong time. You take a risk every time you wake up. I choked on a pork chop yesterday. I could have died then, all alone in my room.
I went through this same exact thing when I was about 8 years old. It took a year before I could normally again. I had to literally retrain myself how to eat.
I always felt like I was the only one! I stopped eating after choking a few times as a kid. Became under weight and was threatened by doctors about feeding tubes. I I remember wanting to eat but It didn’t matter because the fear was so prevalent that I don't even remember ever feeling hungry. My parents would buy me junk food and stuff to bribe me, but I think the best I could do was lick the salt off the fry or try to chew and end up spitting it back out. My problems didn’t resolve themselves until I had my adenoids and tonsils removed at age 9. It made a huge difference, but I can’t lie and say I chew normally. I’m 23 now and still get mocked for taking like 90 bites before swallowing. I never really noticed how strange it was or how that’s probably because of what happened to me as a kid.
I have a friend with ARFID. He just goes to food therapy and he has been learning to try new things a bit.
But she dosent have that this is a rare differnt case
I go to therapy because I don't eat a lot
I guess when my parents said “you’re not gonna go anywhere until your plate is cleaned” they knew what they were doing.
😖damn I’m finding out everything they did was right.
Leave:Me:In:A:Little:Log:Cabin ? If only that worked with ARFID....but it doesn’t.
When ‘well meaning’ people comment ‘let them starve, they’ll soon eat it’, what they don’t understand is that our ARFID children would rather starve.....and they often do. To the extent they have to be NG or PEG fed. 😢
luciemule well that sucks
@@luciep09 exactly its like telling someone thats depressed to just be happy
When they did that to me I still never ate the food. I just sat there. I am still a picky eater at 19
With arfid, it’s a real thing. My toddler born with it. He is still young and he cries that he wants to eat but again he can’t eat because whenever he finally tried to put a food in his mouth after many therapies, he gags immediately and sometimes vomits.
And my cousin’s child who is 12 years old has arfid. Severe case. He can’t even see others eating, and guess what he has older and younger siblings who eat everything and anything. He only drinks. He never ate or chew any type of food in his life.
I feel this on a spiritual level
I used to be able to stand eating, but now I can hardly stand it. I want to eat anything I'm served, but it's so very difficult
When i was a teen, i was obsessed with being thin and perfect.
Now, at 31, my eating issues are less about weight, and more about feeling in control of my life, and feeling safe.
Going to the supermarket stresses me out bc its like...there are foods that i can't even look at bc they give me anxiety, so I'll have to stick to specific items. Going off the track of what i allow myself to eat kind of makes me worry that I'm "out of control" with my life.
Kayleigh's attitude is drastically different than Rebecca's. Rebecca actually seems interested in getting better and eating new things while Kayleigh seems to be uninterested in changing anything. Please don't attack me for saying that it's just what I observed.
Madeline H I made the same observation
Why would anyone do that? It's the truth and yes truth can be hard but nonetheless it's the right thing to say
Very true, how can you not be interested in food? It's one of life's pleasures, and to limite yourself to nutella and ice? Whats!! The human mind is very complex. My heart goes out to these parents for being so patient and maybe a little to lenient with their kids
@@messynessy1485 this is not about liking food or not. she's afraid of chocking/dying. i'm struggling with the same problem (not severe) and i wish i could eat more than i do but my anxiety just doesn't let me.
Yeah it’s interesting. Rebecca searched for a diagnosis, but kaleigh doesn’t think she has a problem
This sounds like sensory processing disorder they've just slapped another name on it
Exactly 💜
yeah this ED is really common in people with autism diagnoses. i think it's a food specific variation of sensory processing disorder
its a bit different. arfid also imcludes people who are afraid of vomiting and choking. i have arfid because i am terrifies of vomiting (associated with food, etc.)
@@sylviabrown3047 people with SPD have that fear as well
@@sylviabrown3047 I have it too... I am terrified of certain vegetables and Im scared it makes me sick/throw up
This is extra interesting to me because I refused to eat most meats when I was very young because I was terrified of choking
What about now?
thats me right now
@@harukaayman6062 I stopped eating meat 10 years ago. Not related I dont think lol otherwise no fear of choking
woah i had this for a year, it was honestly scary. i honestly thought i was gonna choke on things i was/wasn’t a fan of. and we couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me
What about now??
For me I actually choke on food recently this year, this is why I’m scared to eat solid food and underweight . Last year I did eat solid foods but struggled as I had anxiety. This issue began with anxiety not letting me eat normally. Anxiety feels like I need take deep breathe every bite. However now the anxiety is making me choke and also my throat muscles tense up very fast and this makes me choke get red tomatoe face suffocating.
Yoga meditation music workouts teas don’t help. It’s like you need anxiety medicine to calm yourself and let you able to eat.
Nutella is sickeningly sweet -- it's all sugar! Total rubbish.
Juanita Perla I haven’t eaten it in years
I eat a big tub with a spoon all at once😂Dont ask me how im still skinny😂😂
I’ve never tried it and don’t plan on it. I don’t eat anything chocolate
@@fabx725, I would be more worried about my pancreas than obesity.
Nutella is delicious
Wow I read the title as, "girl so afraid of cooking she stopped eating" and when they were talking about choking right from the start I was so confused
One of my sons is mild aspergers type and has had sensory issues all his life. We have been very patient and reassuring towards him and he has developed high tolerances towards many things he finds difficult, including foods. He was always told he should at least try it. If he didn't like it, we would try again a couple of months later. He will now eat a number of things he is not keen on just because he knows they're beneficial. Every person is different and manages their issues and anxieties differently but giving in to a phobia entirely is not always a solid course of action. It doesn't challenge the perceptions and give logic an opportunity to overcome emotion.
1:36 look how close she was to you g onto the springs 😫😫
I just realized this kind of disorder and I'm one of them.
I thought it was just something usual and normal till I watched this.
Fortunately I have normal healthy body till now.
no one asked, no one cares
@@Sin-ub5ei thanks
Meow (stupid name) I think you meant pussy.
Nobody asked for your opinion..you piece of shit. You are what is wrong with the world. Pathetic troll...get a life.
@@indra-fu1ew Do you like meat?
@ I don't eat other meats except chicken. And I also don't eat chicken skin.
I would not eat hardly anything as a toddler. My mom made me sit with my meals until I finished them if I said yuck then she'd only cook that same meal repeatedly. If I didn't finish dinner by 10 pm she'd serve it again to me cold for breakfast. Her logic food is not just for your personal enjoyment it's to get enough nutrition to thrive. She would sit at the end of the table while I fussed with my food and monologue about how foolish, selfish and childish I was being by being picky. She would talk all the while rapping her finger nails across the table in a menacing fashion. She said pickiness was akin to weakness and none of her children were going to be weak on her watch. My mom is a scary unyielding woman she doesn't yell or scream but she will get her way. So I broke at ate normally after about a 2 week's. lol She still scares me though and I'm grown.
My parents were similar. As soon as we could eat solid food we'd be served steamed veg (generally the same dinner my parents were having) and we were fed that every single day, more or less, from the age of about 6-7 months old. Liquefied baby food just wasn't an option; Mum would just simplify what she was having and give it to us as babies. As we grew older we couldn't leave the dinner table till we'd finished our meal and we were never given another option (i.e. if you don't eat this then I'll give you a sandwich instead). We ate what our parents cooked, and that was it; we were never given any other choice. If you didn't finish, you sat at the dinner table by yourself till it was done, and if that took too long, you were sent to bed and had to eat it cold the next day. No dessert or sweets until you'd finished your main meal. Fast food (e.g. getting a takeaway) was always a rare, special treat that the whole family got to enjoy, rather than being classed as 'kid's food'.
It worked - there's not a single fussy eater in my family. We all eat everything, bar one or two minor dislikes. When I have children, I'll do the same thing. If you don't give the child the option of junk food over healthy food - don't buy it, don't have it in the house, don't offer it as an alternative - then they're not going to know any different.
Did anyone else notice all the kids were blonde? Not that it's related or anything, it's just something I found interesting.
My son is like this and he is blonde. Coincidence maybe. One known thing a lot of these kids have in common is they were born with the umbilical cord wrapped around their neck. Or suffered some early trauma involving choking.
It could just be a coincidence because of where they’re from. More blonde people in Australia & New Zealand than there are in the US
Robey Hines or more percentage of blonde people, I meant
They're australians lmao, being blonde there is pretty common.
I’m blonde and I’m very fussy 🤒🤒
Very informative. Thanks!
For those people out there struggle to eat..you are not alone,im one of them too. Here's my tips for you guys to eat easily&happily:
1)Do not start to think you will get chock before you eat.
2)Eat what you really likes to eat (food that are healthy)
3)Sleep before 12am+do some exercise if you are free
4)Eat with Water + takes healthy supplements
5)Watch funny video or TV when you eat or listening to songs :)
6)Try to trick your mind with diffrent plate so that the food you eat won't look huge .
7)Drink Lots Of Water
8)keep your self motivated/Don't skips breakfast.
Hope this is helpful for y'all that struggle to eat..be Brave and you are not alone guys ❤
I used to have such bad anxiety every time I ate because of the fear of choking too wow I thought it was just because I was an anxious person anyway that’s mad
If there is a fear of choking that is a result of gagging on food, then it should be checked out with an MRI for a Chiari malformation. This is where the cerebellar tonsils from the brain herniate slightly. It can cause a gag reflex. I have low lying cerebellar tonsils and get a gag reflex, but I would have never know if I hadn't had an MRI for something else.
13:23 woah that little girl is brave. I’m not sure I’d be able to eat a tomato like that.
When I was in 5th grade I choked really bad on something and since then I started having panic attacks everytime I ate something. I was like this for a week and then I started having panic attacks that would last even 2 hours with breaks of half an hour between them. I would have up to 5 panic attacks a day and felt like I had to drink water nonstop. Ended up in hospital 2 times in 2 days. After the last hospital visit I stopped having them that bad, but 5 years later I still have panic attacks and weird behavior around food such as having to clean my mouth to make sure that i don't have anything to choke on. I also developed social anxiety and anorexia since then.
it may sound silly but last week i was eating a apple and started choking on a super tiny bit of apple skin which got trapped under my tonsils mad me throw up and now i cant eat fruit without removing the skin or eat nuts even though i love food
We would always say my son was a picky eater from the time he started eating solids. It wasn't until he was 14 that we learned that he had esinophilic esophagitis (EOE). Certain foods (most veggies, legumes - included soy, & nuts) cause an over production of esinophilic and causes his throat to constrict. It explained his food avoidance, his vomiting frequently, and his desire to stand while eating. Now that we know it's a medical condition, it took a lot of stress off both of us and we found solutions. (AND learned that soy is in almost everything! ugh)
When I was young I had a fear of eating things because I was scared of choking on them. My mum told me my throat was the size of my pinky which is stupid to believe but I was a child. She kept warning me about choking and dying. When I was 3 or 4, I choked on a grape and apparently turned purple but I don't remember it. I had tonsillitis when I was 9 and my throat felt swollen because it was. After getting them removed though, I still felt them there like a phantom limb. I took forever to eat, Had to chew things so much until they were mush. Wouldn't eat because I was scared to swallow and food would get stuck or something. Chewed a lot of food to pretend I was eating and then spat it out in a tissue or excused myself to go to the bathroom. It happened too often that I got in trouble a lot. So much frustration, shouting, tears etc. My parents didn't understand and thought I was being fussy. Was kicked out of the house when I was maybe 10, in the middle of the night at one point because I was taking too long.
I'm not sure what happened but eventually I did learn to eat normally. I still have trouble with some food though (I don't like swallowing oysters or anything whole) and swallowing pills is hard but it gets easier the more you practice.
Wolfferoni would you be able to help me with the same problem? people don’t understand and it’s a struggle for me right now
When I was younger, in my school cafeteria I would chew my food & wouldn't be able to swallow it. I'd have to spit it in a napkin. Now that I'm older I just assumed it was a social thing. My throat would be dry and feel small and the more I chewed it seemed like the food was getting bigger. I guess I somehow grew out of it but I'm not really sure how or why it was even happening. Before that I did choke a few times as well.
@@hopemanzanares same
Hope Manzanares me too hope your doing well
My child has an extreme case of ARFID. He is a toddler and only on purée diet. I couldn’t find anyone like him or a video which would talk about this disorder. Until I joined a Facebook group that I now know there are kids who are like my child.
I have struggled with the choking anxiety issue. Sometimes it still gets me.
Me too.
I kind of feel like this is definitely a product of western “divide and conquer marketing,” (typical in U.S., U.K., Aus., etc, where’s there shitty unhealthy foods marketed as “kid’s food” vs. “adult food,” adult food just being balanced, normal meals), and parents allowing their kids from a young age to eat the “kid’s food,” instead of the healthy balanced meals the adults are eating as well. If you have your kid just eat what the adults are eating (as they should) from a young age, I don’t think this would be a problem. I only notice this fussy type anxiety-ridden eating in people who let their kids eat crappy, processed foods like chicken nuggets, French fries, frozen pizza and stuff like that as an alternative to what the parents are eating for dinner (notice how it’s always unhealthy, bland, processed foods the fussy eaters are comfortable with?). A lot of cultures just expect their kids to eat what everyone else in eating, and I’m making an assumption (yes, it’s an assumption, I could be totally wrong) that these kids don’t grow up saying “ew, I won’t touch a vegetable,” or “I only eat French fries.” This is all excluding the fear of choking disorder - that seems purely like it stems from anxiety and is nobody’s fault. Though, I do think there is ALSO underlying excessive anxiety in the “fussy” eaters as well, so I’m sympathetic to that.
Tippy I had the opposite of that problem but it wasn’t so much as me refusing to eat. Growing up I ate primarily vegetarian and Filipino, but then I started living with my dad and he ate very processed american food and even now I have this cycle where I will eat some junk foods but then I immediately have to have a fruit or veggie. It’s like my body will crave it until I have it. Really weird. Im thankful however, because I will always love food that I know is good fuel for my body.
I was wondering the same thing because so far my child hasn't developed that pickiness not wanting real food or trying foods but I see so many parents say their kids only eat nuggets or fries etc but I decided early on before my son was born that we would try baby led weaning after I heard about it in a video and then researched it I decided that was the path we would go we started at 4 months which most people think it's horrible and unnatural to start feeding solids at such a young age and yes some kids can't start that early and 6 months is generally the safest to avoid choking and reactions to food, but most parents only feed baby foods for so long and then introduce real food in the toddler years and they think oh they don't know how to eat give them something easy , nuggets , finger foods that are quick and fast to cook for a hungry crying toddler also when we go out to eat and my son is using utensils and eating what we eat at 1 and children older than him are just sat in the high chair getting fruit packs or little bits of bread or fries it's sad to see that most children don't know how to feed them selves, a recent outing he was "hangry" and bread was the fastest thing to get there so we handed him that and he likes bread but then my salad came and he started screaming again and we're scrambling to figure out what he wants and a fork was one of them and salad was the other and I know people will say it's BS but this 1 year old is sat at his high chair munching on salad happily, he eats meats, fish , veggies fruits but he also likes pizza and cookies like any kid but dinner we've always given him what we had, so long story long I really believe the old fashioned mindset and standards of when and how to start solids needs to be changed
renrensiren112 that’s great! I totally agree. It sounds like you have a really good balance with your son!
Maelani A. That’s interesting! I wish my body would crave healthy foods more :P
i remember "young sheldon" where he choked and was scared to eat solid food
In few years i expecting to see them making "my eating disorder story" after they recover ofc. We've seen so many perspective from a bulimic or anorexic but we didn't know how they feel with this rare eating disorder
I used to fear choking on food growing up but I got over it and i love food now
For me it’s more anxiety around choking or getting so overwhelmed I will choke and I don’t want to eat but I want to because it’s yummy but it only depends on my anxiety level ha
Did it ever go away?
Yeah same, I eat almost liquid now :(
same idk if I have ARFID or if it’s just picky eating with anxiety
Great video
I’ve always been a fussy eater and super picky and then a few years ago developed an eating disorder. That was 2 years ago sense then I’ve gotten a lot better mentally around body image but the food…. Eating, chewing, swallowing, I hate the act of it. It repulses me when I really think about eating or when I’m eating especially. And foods will just taste bad, I will starve myself if there’s nothing I’m comfortable with eating
Me too the act of eating i can't do it . And there's things i can't handle it so what did you do about it ? So i can have some ideas to help myself
I personally eat when I want to now. I feel hungry but I just don't think about it. There's a time for everything, and I just listen to my body. You can trust your body to survive because your body won't let you die, life evolved to become you. The fear of someone killing you or uncertainty is a burning feeling that allows you to keep going.
This is what happens when parents aren't feeding their kids foods of all types. This happens when parents let their kids eat what they grow comfortable with instead of making them eat what the family eats or what they need to. My family forced us to stay at the table to finish our food no matter what and if you didnt like it you had to take a thank you bite. Its so easy to introduce different foods to kids so they don't develop this. These kids are sad
When you got a child with sensory processing disorder they won't eat any food you give them how about you look it up before you go putting people down
Not true at all
Kat woman you don’t understand what she is saying. Her parents FORCED her to eat it. If they didn’t like the food they still HAD to take at least one bite.
Some parents do this, mine did, and it can actually be a help to someone with a disorder.
@@MelinWisconsin you have fk all knowledge go look up SPD it's the same disability they just put another name on it
@@katwoman1607 yeah I know my sister had it she kicked and screamed at my parents but they made her eat foods she didnt want to. They kept doing it and she realized she liked some foods but hated the texture of some. You need to be exposed to them. Giving up and not making your kid at least take one bite seriously effects how they think about eating food
I can really relate to her talking about not wanting to be in the same room as them because she is scared that they will choke and because of my sensorimotor ocd (around 8:05)
I’ve had a restricted diet for many many years... I didn’t realise I was only taking in less than 1000 calories a day.
I’m 20 in December, I’ve struggled with eating foods such as fruits n veggies all my life, I’ve always forced myself but then would come back out again, the fear of nothing, I still don’t know why, but every time it comes back up... the texture? If it’s mashed I might eat it.. the idea of an insect in the soil with the fruits n veggies freak me out.. I still stuggle but you have to force yourself.. you can eat but you have to FORCE yourself.. everyone can do it just have to throw yourself into it and actually force yourself.. over time you will slowly become more familiar with the flavours etc
Maisie P D If I started thinking about what might be in my food, besides my food, I would get crazy XD Food from factories is actually worse to me than vegetables and fruit. Because those you can wash or peel the outside. With canned, bagged or potted food, there could be bits and pieces of insects or rodents in there, and you would never know (unless it’s big chunks, but I mean I a tiny mouse hair, or spider leg, isn’t really that noticeable); I’ve heard they even have a certain percentage of ‘insects’ they can’t exceed, so like, it might have 0.03% insect, but that might be still be sold (don’t know the exact ‘safe’ percentage) XD
So I don’t think about it. People in other countries eat insects as food; I’m just being a bit of a spoiled brat if an insect is going to stop me, because they’re not poisonous or anything. It’s just my mind that tells me it’s yucky. So I ‘trick’ my mind by not even considering it, I think about other stuff. What it can’t think about, it can’t get disgusted by, haha!
I’m the other way with textures. I love potatoes, but hate them mashed. Just like with watery soup. If it’s food, I want to be able to chew it, if I can’t, it tastes a lot less nice for some reason.
Have you tried raw vegetables? Like carrots, cauliflower? There’s so many different vegetables and how to prepare them; I love them! Especially because I love to eat until my stomach feels like it’s bursting. With trying to have at least half of my meal consist of vegetables, it means I don’t pile on the pounds by eating ‘big’ portions :D
I'm 29 now and have the exact same issue. Fruits and Veg are still pretty much a no for me since I turned 5. The idea of just going for it sounds great until the food is in front of me on a plate. Makes me panic just looking at it, and the thought of even putting it in my mouth is insane. I have started trying to keep the lettuce in my cheeseburger when going to mc Donalds, and I'm managing to do it a bit, but I've had about 8 of them with lettuce since trying 2 years ago and still really hate the taste and texture. Not sure I can ever be cured 🤣
@@liam4184 Stop trying to force yourself to eat fruits and vegs if you don't like them - they're not even that healthy for you anyway and most have more of the bad chemicals used to repel insects than other kinds of food. Most animals can live on a single type of food, humans are not special animals, we should be able to do the same - and in fact it is possible to live solely on potatoes or rice, for instance, among other foods. Humans are not meant to be eating such varied diets with things that only grow in specific places of the planet and in specific times of the year. We are supposed to have a narrow, local diet.
Omg I had Tbis when I was younger and i lost so much wait idk how I got over it
I actually had this irrational food fear when I was younger watching movies and shows as a kid and seeing people choke to death on their food. Usually meat with bones. It made me completely avoid eating meat or other foods. I can understand that fear. Dying by choking on chicken is also a rather embarrassing way to go as well. Imagine the jokes of death by choking the chicken.
You can’t choke on mean with bones that’s stupid if it’s fish it’s something cause the bones are sharp and small
@@CyberRacer i saw my dog choke on chicken piece with a small bone, it's either because the piece is too big or they inhale it so it gets stuck. having one pipe for eating and breathing is an error in design of humans if you really think about it.
I have the same problem I can go a day without eating I have a fear of vomiting in public so I avoid eating when I go out . I can eat but I avoid things that make my anxiety high . It sucks.
No part 2?! This ended rather abruptly!
i've been like this my whole life now .. i am a 22 year old from South Africa i've never seen a doctor or anything about this i always thought its just in my mind .. plus to make it worse i suffer from sinus very badly i've been in the hospital for problems with my lungs from constant mucus on lungs and chest .. hence constant mucus making it worse not having an appetite :\ First time i actually watched a video on eating disorders it gave me abit of hope too see that i'm not the only one :) - Stay strong guys we will be okay
Same issues here man, 29 years old and still have very limited types of food I can eat.
I laughed too hard at the title before watchin
I mean..I don’t eat hard candy when I’m alone..i actually stay away from it. I choked on a piece as a kid..was a terrifying experience.
Every time i tell people i hate food they instantly label me with this. Some people really don't like food, and i am one of them. I don't have a problem with eating enough, i eat around 3,000kcal per day and my diet is extremely varied.
I can’t leave without food 😭😭 even I don’t have teeth’s 😭😭😭 sorry guys my phones bugging I meant I can’t live without food even if I don’t have teeth I will still eat it 😭😭😭
or grammar
Haters got to hate right
You cant get out of here without food ?? Im not sure i understamd ?

Food tastes good to me, and I want to eat it but I choked on a pill twice this year and I keep getting scared that I’m going to choke on my food so I have to chew it really small and it takes me forever to eat
Omg but this was me in 5th grade. One time I choked on a bean so then I only ate gogurt for breakfast and lunch everyday for the rest of the year. I was deathly afraid of eating solid food.
Fussy eaters? Damn I should gouge my eyes out.
...I've been like this all my life, and my doctors/psychiatrists used that as the main thing to set an Aspergers diagnosis (which I don't quite agree with).
I don't agree as well. Bc I have asperger and I eat almost everything. I have to sniff things first, that looks odd, especially when I am new to some people, but I can't help it.
I live in Dubai, I have same problem my age 23
I hate meny food
I love fruit and milk rice pasta pizza meat chicken macaroni
I eat lot bread, I dislike hamburger
I love fish
I feel like I have this expect more so about bugs or food getting stuck or causing me to get allergic reaction or some think some how it will kill me. I manage so far to have days where can or can’t eat it. I don’t get the gag reflux reaction or anything it just mental. Sadly I have no help with it and no one understands it with people I know.
This has been me my whole life, as a child and young adult I didn't eat meat, eggs, gravy, chocolate ice cream etc, I only liked veggies. Now I can eat chicken breast if it's cooked well done. I only eat once a day usually. But I love caramel cake...lmbo.
Its one thing to not like a few things but its insane to be picky to the point of being sick
I only eat currently a small piece of cheese, over easy egg, mini cupcake & avacado pudding & yogurt and mashed potatoes, cheesecakes and shakes. This is my diet. I still can’t eat sandwhiches burgers tacos, etc. the anxiety doesn’t let me eat and makes me choke. I need a strong good anxiety medicine to make me feel normal and eat again. Have my neck not tense up anymore.
Everyo'e keeps asking if I'm vegan or a vegetarian because I don't eat meat. I do eat meat sometimes (shrimp, crab, tuna, other seafood, and some chicken), but not all the time. Everyone is worried that I don't weigh a lot because I'm skinny and sometimes don't eat. I actually skipped dinner today because of how picky I am. If a burger was the last thing I had, I'd probably force myself to eat it... Or I'd not eat it.
I can’t find anything to explain how I feel. I used to love food but recently (starting about 4months ago) all food smells horrible and I can’t eat it because the smell is too strong and unbearable. I can only eat a few foods and they’re unhealthy manufactured snacks and such
My son is the same! I feel lost and I'm sad. My son is on the Spectrum and he like swishing food! Possible OCD with it
2:15 they look like Anna and Elsa! Lol! Ahaha
I been through this phase where i develop phobia of chocking becoz of gerd...i am still afraid of it but i am trying to overcome this..
wbcs prepration I was just diagnosed with gerd. It’s horrible!
I have the same problem because of GERD. And it is very scary when you have the fear of choking while eating all the time.
Since I was 17 I began getting anxiety & choked on food, year after after I began not able to eat 24/7 whatever I wanted. I began to lose weight & cudnt eat at night due to the anxiety. The anxiety feels like I need take deep breathe before I chew during & after I chew. I cudnt eat tamales, sandwhiches, pizza, burgers, pasta, fruit, etc. one year I only ate soup 24/7. I’m 22 & now choking I get red or purple face. I’m taking a natural anxiety medcine & works good but still struggling & scared try food. I’m barley trying get treatment & therapist appointment as I want eat normal again. I keep urging to doctors I need therapy eating classes. I was eating solid food last year but stopped February as I choked & red face suffocated. Idk why before I never choked but now I’m suffocating a lot & this is what’s causing me not able to eat. The anxiety is ruining my life and not letting me eat.
Fear of choking is not being picky it’s actual anxiety
How come they can never eat healthy food? Why is it always processed they are happy to eat?
Personally, it is because of the consistency in taste and texture that you don't find in more natural foods. For example, chicken nuggets were the only meat I would eat before I went completely vegetarian because I knew they would always be the same.
for me i have a high fear of contamination, and things like meat and fruit/vegetables are less controlled and have more variation which is quite scary
I choked once it scared me.. I would eat but was very careful on eating >_< I'm ok now though
She is a Holly Saint
She eat clean
Nothing is wrong with her. She is Talented
I know the feeling of this you love it and hate it the same time 😅👌👌😑😑
My parents used to say I would grow out of it. Nearly 30, and still a fussy eater :( I hate it, but I’d literally gag thinking of mixing foods xx
i mean i don’t eat before i compete- i refuse to throw up on my horse.
When I was younger I wouldnt eat hard food because I was scared of choking but I'm older and had help getting over the fear :)
Anytime someone has a fear of choking it is usually because they have gagged on food before or choked. If you have a gag reflex, get an MRI to see if there is a Chiari malformation. It can cause a gag reflex and without an MRI you'll never know whether low lying cerebellar tonsils are causing the condition or if it is strictly a fear without basis.
@@oldandtiredshouldberetired3436 that's why I was scared of eating hard food cause every time I ate it I would choke so I just stopped for a long time
I don’t really like beef anyone. It makes me nauseous. And sometimes food doesn’t have a taste to it.
Go Vegan...lol
I struggled through my childhood being so underweight I was and still am not on a growth chart..... I ate a lot but if I didn't finish my food I got it the next meal, sadly I was diagnosed with food allergies along with muscle problems that make eating difficult, I choke and get stuff in my lungs so I have a feeding tube. Sometimes I eat thick things like hummus. Anyway I am 46 pounds and I hate it.
You are not 46 pounds. 46kg is plausible.
Actually I am. You don't know what I have survived.
I am far from being 46kg 101 pounds.....never was near that ever. I am indeed 46 pounds and I cannot even walk.
BuzzbyMcree right, okay. You’re 46 pounds and living, that’s only plausible if you’re like 3ft something.
I am taller than 3 foot but not average, I easily can wear a child's size 6 in dresses....there is a difference for people who have my disability .
When I was 8 years old I would never eat because I was so scared of choking and I also couldn't swallow my food even if I tried or forced myself to. It lasted for only 4 years though.

mhm.
Bro I am afraid of eating rice I think it will stuck so I am afraid of choking and swallowing specially rice how r u now😟
INFERNO GAMING
Right now, I’m fine. Maybe soon you’ll be able to swallow rice! When you decide to eat rice get a drink too. While your chewing the rice drink some water so you can actually get it down and swallow it.
This video is so frustrating. Like I know it’s wrong, but I want to shove the food in their faces myself.
Please be quiet. I want you to shut the fuck up. Eating disorders exist
The interesting thing is this thing never and would NEVER happen is developing countries where food and water are scarce.
Honestly for three days I haven't felt hungry at all and even if I do eat I don't enjoy my food anymore
This is me. I am struggling so bad. I already lost 10 pounds. I hate myself
Get over it
Just kidding. Have a nice day
This is my mom, TOO THE T! I'm going to show my mom this ASAP
Does your mom like meat at least?
@ thats all she eats besides some chocolate candy, and potato chips. If she wants something like a baked potato, she needs it to slathered in butter, cheese, and bacon. No chives, no sour cream, nothing but that. Peanuts? Forget about it unless it's in Reece's peanut butter cups. And I hate to say that it's my grandmas fault, but it is.
She made my mom to believe that she is allergic to fruits and vegetables. So all that she ate from the age of 3-4 is a very restrictive diet.
@@theemoturtle7002 Well I study Nutrition and from what I've learned is that humans are adapted to eat a ketogenic diet. Which is high fat, moderate protein and low carb. Therefore it would make sense that she eats a lot meat, bacon, butter, cheese and cream. As all of these foods are actually part of our natural diet. Humans would only consume locally found fruits when they were in season and rarely ever eat any vegetables. So in a way, considering that humans are carnivores, it makes sense. Also peanuts are very allergenic since they are high in aflatoxins so its a good thing she's not eating them. And most vegetables taste bitter because they have antinutrients and plant toxins in them. Once again, you don't need fruits and veggies to be healthy.
@ I can understand that, but considering what she is eating, which are mostly fried meat, and not any food that is good for her like chips and sugary foods, like cookies, cake, and soft drinks, I can't honestly say she is healthy. I forgot to tell you what she drinks. All it is, is Pepsi. To the moment she wakes up, to when she falls asleep she has a Red Solo cup filled to brim with some sort of soft drink. Every week, we need to restock her supply, which is up to about 12/2 liters bottles.
And I don't know what this diet is doing to her heart. It's common knowledge that an all meat diet is catastrophic to the heart, due to the high protein content. I want to believe that you are correct, and that my mom can be relatively healthy with this all meat diet, but I just don't see how you can call my mom healthy.
I know you have never seen, or met my mother, thus never going to be able to make a 100% accurate diagnosis, but I don't believe that my mom is as healthy as you think.
@@theemoturtle7002 Well you are right that having lots of fried foods, sugary drinks and processed meats are very detrimental to one's health. However I must point out that an all meat diet can actually be very good for the heart, the protein thing you mentioned is a complete misconception. If the meat is high-quality, unprocessed, grass-fed beef, pasture-raised poultry or wild-caught fish/seafood. There is no problem. Don't blame the meat when its the vegetable oil, sugar and processed food's fault. Just try to get her to eat clean meats.
I’m going through the same thing
Eating on your own decreases anxiety when eating I find.
I wouldn’t eat cheese w tomato juice on it either wtf
Maggi Anne the point is that there was no juice on the cheese. There was a “possibility” that they could have touched. Tomato’s barely taste like anything.
silencethescreamer “Tomato’s[sic] barely taste like anything”
What tomatoes have you been eating?
My stepson was very much like this when I came into the picture. I had strict food rules though, no dinner until you've tried something new. A piece of lettuce, a shred of cheese, a slice of cucumber- simple little things, followed by praise and reward. At first he balked, but we stood by the rules and he went to bed hungry more than a few times. But we stood strong by the pediatrician's words- "they'll eat when they're hungry". Within 3mo, he was eating from and enjoying items from every food group. He was proud. Today, despite still being somewhat "picky", he'll try just about anything at least once.
Me, watches this while eating a burgerdog
You condone eating dog sir?
I had the same problem when i was 14 i chocked on chicken skin and after that i was afraid to eat anything that was solid but what i did i just found my way to get threw to it.

I Still do like From Past 3 Months i am hating food and never feel Hungry

Im going through this now
Same
This sounds like my cousin. She only eats chicken nuggets and Fries that's all she's eaten since she was baby.
The Ticci Toby does she know what chicken nuggets are made of? 🤢🤢 those are worse than vegetables.
@@oriverse9607 yeah, I know. I told her but she doesn't care. I feel so bad for her, her mother doesn't even make her try new things.
I choked on steak it was great and after i unlogged it i continued eating the steak and ate another one my mother was petrified
I eat most foods. But the preparation has to be just right. All meat has to be crunchy and dark brown. I love pasta but it can't have a mushy texture. Nothing can be mushy!!!... I don't like fruit and love Veggies. But they also have to be prepared just right. I like tomatoes, olives, carrots. a few others. I have always been picky about food. I am not crazy about sweets anymore. But I have never looked at this as a problem except with meat. If I order a hamburger and it is not dark brown and if it has juice in it I won't eat it. I hate soggy bread. I think most people are like this. At home, I put it one a paper towel and squeeze the juice from it. I just think it is the preparation of food that is important.
I have the same bridle as the girl who rides lol
I watched a documentary on this
I can't eat anything without my stomach hurting but it's not this i think i just have sensitive nervous I'm going to see a doctor about it
Yes it could just be that. I'm glad you're seeking help. I have had this issue from childhood but I think mine was anxiety. But no one noticed and turned into me making myself sick as I couldn't ditinguise fullness and sickness. Get yourself checked out asap, I'm glad you've caught it early :) good luck
@@francescafoster854 hey sorry this is a year but I found out I have IBS and also my anxiety is extremely bad
