I have a real hard time with food as I wasn’t fed well as a child. I was neglected and lived on dry cereal, sweets and beige foods when I was occasionally fed dinner. I didn’t have a fruit or vegetable until my 20s. As a result I’m now very picky and have issues with certain food, my mood surrounding food changes daily. I know it’s hard for my partner, he tries his best to introduce a mixture of food and he is supportive when I change my mind or I don’t want to eat at all. However I’m starting to feel guilty for him as he’d love to go to restaurants but it’s impossible for me. He’s suggested cooking me a brand new meal once a week for me to try with no pressure, but the thought of this terrifies me. I don’t want to upset him and refuse so I’d like to give it a go.
Could anyone share any meals that may suit me, starting small and bland before anything fancy with an acquired taste.
these days I can manage: pizza, all meats whether breaded or plain, pasta but only with cheese, and chips mixed with baked beans. I haven’t ventured out of this for at least 5 years. For breakfast I have pastries, I don’t eat lunch, if I get hungry I snack on chocolate or biscuits.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
