#selective eater

So. My host is, shall we say, a picky eater. (It could also be autism. Safe foods are a thing, apparently.) (The whole system is, actually, but that’s beside the point.) And, after reading a thing, we were tipped to the idea of formula.

And like. A way to get the proper amount of nutrients and stuff? Without having to go further out of our comfort zone than we feel capable of? Tailored to our needs? And in a way that helps her feel little?

Understandably, she’s quite excited about the idea.

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that if you struggle with ARFID you’re totally valid! And also, recovery? Possible. Even if you’ve been dealing with it your whole life (like I have). During the past two years, I’ve slowly started to eat strawberry jelly/jam, soy sauce, and now I’m thinking of making my own salsa and trying that! Small victories? To another person, maybe, but not to me. Every time I add a new food to my palate, it’s like it unlocks a whole new world of food for me.

Have y’all been seeing this story about this kid who CLEARLY has ARFID?

I’m super angry with how his situation is being portrayed....

Attention Arfid Community

In case you haven’t heard the news, we got a book!!

Two Harvard ED specialists that work specifically on ARFID have published a CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) book to educate therapists/doctors on our unique disorder.

It’s probably also helpful for parents who may be struggling to understand you or for yourself to feel more validated and recognized!

You can preorder the book on amazon and there’s even a free preview :)

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder: Children, Adolescents, and Adults [Jennifer J. Thomas, Kamryn T.

Let this be a lesson ... When cooking pasture raised beef and pork, cut cooking times in half. And don't have a 45 minute conversation with your husband and completely neglect the oven.
