Imagine being able to take a bite of unfamiliar food without the anxiety that leads to it being way more difficult to actually eat even if you end up liking it

Can we stop shitting on people for having “childish” diets. Like, I don’t really care if my diet resembles that of a fussy child if it means I can eat at all and it’s none of your fucking business what I can and can’t eat and why!? Leave us the fuck alone.

Remember that just because a taste is unfamiliar or different to your expectations, it doesn’t mean it’s bad or that you don’t like it

Getting real tired of having a lifelong eating disorder

All those rules you have about what you can and can’t eat and when you can and can’t eat them? All those rules that contradict each other and have no solid unbiased logic to them? Throw them away! Who says you can’t eat the same food twice in a day, or two days in a row? Who says you can’t eat certain foods for breakfast or can’t eat past a certain time? If any of those rules are stopping you from eating then they are actively unhealthy. Going against the rules you’ve set yourself is healthier than not eating at all.

Hi, welcome to ARFID, you are not alone

It always makes me happy when someone has clearly just discovered ARFID for the first time and suddenly things make more sense. I remember that feeling a couple of years ago when I started this blog. It’s comforting.

Don’t belittle your goals or progress just because others might not see why it’s important.

Know that I will judge you based on how you react to my eating habits
