I cant eat anything outside of a very small list, pretty much all unhealthy. Anything else will make me gag/vomit if you try to force it into my mouth. Been the case my entire life.

Its possible they may just not like or cant eat healthier. Im a picky eater myself and, trust me, it really fucking sucks. I wish I could just shovel whatever into my mouth and be ok but I just cant.

These. I'm a picky eater myself, though I think part of it is because I'm autistic. But I know I CAN NOT STAND the smell of cut tomatoes, be it sliced or diced. It makes me gag. I also can't stand lettuce, celery, cabbage, carrots, apples, oranges (though I don't mind a little pulp-free orange juice once in a while, oddly enough), grapes...basically any kind of fruit, root, or vegetable outside of corn and mashed potatoes. I smell it, I may start gagging or retching, and if it winds up in my mouth, I either need to spit it out ASAP, or wash it down with a drink with a strong taste to it. Otherwise, I may vomit.

I don't know why, exactly, my body reacts so poorly to healthy foods. It always has since I was a child.
