what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! marmite is a type of savoury spread used for sandwichs and itsa bloody awesome!
Tommy, that sounds an awful lot like anorexia. Fear of what others will think of what we are eating, restricting food and types of foods. Have you ever considered you have this disease?
yeah i have but its been like this my whole life my parents say i started spitting out all the food they gave me at 2years they took me to doctors who gave me a diet that was ok but its still limited. paries where theres a bbq i often get forced to eat a burger but its just the taste and texture.often even when im eating food i like i have to really put in a lot of effort just to chew and swallow. sometimes i have to shake my leg or something to take my mind off it
I’m still in shock over the fact you like marmite. You need to stop worring about what other people think about you and start thinking about yourself, eating marmite sandwiches cannot be good for you. Take the risk, and start, it will be hard at first, but you will get used to it. Start with something simple, maybe another kind of sandwich and convince yourself its marmite and work from there.
I would start with a dietician that works with eating disordered people. I would definatly consider this a disorder, and especially because it has been present most of your life. I would also try psychiatry to see where it came from and if any part of it could be treated medically. I would also see if there is a counsellor who practices hypnosis. It’s not THE answer, but removing negative associations from certain healthy foods would be a great place to start.
thanks and i know but its just so bloody difficult. can you recommend something for me to buy tommorow and i promise to eat it (some of it)
That has to come from you. I could say tuna and an apple, but if you couldn’t stand tuna, and the thought of an apple made you want to gag, then my idea really was for nothing. If your health and well eing os your primary concern, you’ll take EVERY suggestion, and try it. But it has to start with you. If you are just waiting to be told what to do, then you can reject every idea, and remain stuck.
ur right i just gagged thinking about tuna but im gonna eat an apple right now anyway thanks for your help im off bye!
my brains a bloody headdoer

You have got to find a way to eat other things besides those sandwiches. It does not hurt to really like a food. Just make sure you are eating a balanced diet and are not eating them to excess. Limit yourself to one a day. I have my own food that I love. Its Popcorn. Sometimes I eat it everyday but sometimes I take a break. But I can go for months eating it everyday. But I also make sure I am eating a very balanced diet besides eating the popcorn. When people make you feel guilty enough that you have to hide your addiction and that is not good. You need to talk to the people who are making you feel bad. tell them that you need to not feel judged for liking the food. If not then talk to a counselor about it. If it is making you feel bad about yourself you need to do something. You need find a way to work through it. My suggestion is for a month have one sandwich a day. Then for two weeks a sandwich every other day. Continue this trend until you are down to once a week. Just a idea.

it does sound more appealing than tuna. i just need to go out and actually buy it.but being a lazy stoner doesnt help. thanks for the recommendations. any recommendations really do help me because my mind goes blank when i try to think for myself and then i normally have a sandwich or crisps
A phobia of eating in front of ppl?
That used to be me. I have no idea how I got over it.
Wait. College cafeteria: where no one cares what you eat, even the silverware.
its not a phobia of eating in front of people. but it doesnt help if i am.. i tend to dislike the taste of nearly everything…which is probably just me telling myself in my head”this is gonna be disgusting” then when im eating it i pull all sorts of faces to show my disgust..try to swallow then scream “GET ME A DRINK! NOWWWWWWW!” and thats what i dont like people to see.
yeah i hate it. and twiglets and bovril and i didnt like marmite flavoured crisps much either when they were out. i just hope the people who make marmite never go out of business! but maybe that would be a good thing? who knows
Post a repTommt before you try something just imagine in your head how good it would be and without opening your eyes eat it and see if that makes a difference.
sounds scary but definatley something that would work i suppose.
but where would i go to do something like that? not at home with family looking at me saying “why do you have a blindfold on?”
im gonna do something like that tho in a few weeks when everyone goes on holiday exept me.FREE HOUSE! partayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Sneak in the bathroom or anywhere know one else is.
ha! i can imagine gettin caught! and its a pretty funny thought.
i just signed up on some website where theres other people with a thing about food looking for someone else who is in the same situation as me so i can go out and it new food with them….bit of a longshot tho. but im just gonna try everyway possible to get out of this eating habit of mine. thanks for the suggestion
That is great and I truly hope that you can get over this because it is so much wonderful food out there waiting for you to try. God Bless!
who knows i might even die a fat man!
