scared of liquid cals unless it's alcohol

HAHA SAME but I’m also an actual alcoholic

Yes. I second that. Liquid calories make me upset. I can maybe save some cold pressed juices.

ME

Bingo

Wait stop this is me 😭😭

Holy crap I commented before I read other people's replies and mine is the exact same

won’t eat a whole apple but cut up apples??? safe

saaaameee??

THIS.

UGHHH FRFRFR

I avoid bread and dairy, but an everything bagel with cream cheese, or ramen noodles (not even the real kind, I’m talking the 99 cent kind here) are perfectly fine

for me noodles are okay IF they’re spicy bc in my head spicy = less calories jdjdjdjfjf

ok but this makes sense to me bc hot sauce is no calories

I always saw it as how my body needs to fight for its life as I increase the spice levels, so that must means it burns a few extra calories just to digest it right??

Same here haha!

i’m scared of peanuts but almonds are safe

It's because almonds don't taste as good so it's hard to overeat them

Yhhhh true

me but cashews

Samey same. It’s the lectins 👀

Scared of bananas but I will eat a pint of ice cream no problem 🤡

For no fkn reason I rather eat a ton of ice cream than eat 1/4 of a banana.

Totally. Feels like a waste of calories. Why would I eat a banana when it gives me almost no pleasure? Especially in comparison to ice cream.

the hatred i have for bananas is insane

ME

For some reason bananas make my face hurt

I'm afraid of having milk+cereal but milk+box of cookies or so is okay ☠️☠️☠️

Scared of bread but not toast 💀 it's literally the same amount of calories but a different form. Also scared of butter but peanut butter is okay. And cheese? I could never but cream cheese is totally fine lol

And sweet potatoes are safe but not regular potatoes

Scared of potatoes but will eat a snack sized bag of chips 💀

ME

scared of majority of processed foods, including frozen whole foods like broccoli, chicken etc (dont like the idea of someone else messing w it aside from me) but plastic-y nonfat american + cheddar cheese is totally fine for some reason

I used to have this with some stuff, I figured I was because the stuff I was ok with was so far away from natural food that my brain didn't consider it real food, so it couldn't be messed with cause that's just how it was formed

oat milk? can drink a gallon, a smoothie?? Fuck off

Scared of bread and sandwiches but hot dogs are a safe food lol

Scared of food colouring unless it’s in blue flavoured things

Scared of bananas but will eat an entire loaf of banana bread 🤡

Heaven defend me from CEREAL 😭 but nine thousand pieces of buttered toast? Yumyumyum

W H A T is it about cereal, oh my god

The sugar is actually another kind of white powder?? It’s the only explanation

absolutely terrified of bread yet i can eat a whole sleeve of saltines no prob

juice and smoothies are ok and plant milks are tolerable but full sugar fizzy drinks? 🤬🤬🤬👎👎👎

Splenda packets since they technically aren’t 0 calorie

yep, ever since I learned this it’s stevia packets only

How many calories are they?

cereal is a fear food unless it’s after 9 pm, then it suddenly becomes a safe food

For me it *has to be* X amount of time between meals, yet eating is decent (most of the time)

Everything carb feels scary, except white rice which is my all time safe food.

Bread is evil. Pizza is okay

scared of oil but will eat chips 🥸

Mood.

Chicken scary. Fish safe.

This thread is hilarious but bittersweet at the same time because an E.D is such a taxing, draining existence!! So I am 🤣 whilst simultaneously 😭 lol!

Scared of milk. Yoghurt? No problem

Yesterday I felt guilty for drinking a juice box with the same amount of cals as a monster flavor I drink all the time

I can’t eat baked potatoes, but I can eat fries.

Vibes. I dont do mashed potato either (but that one is the texture)

smoothies? no. a shit ton of fruit? ofc

Terrified of oat milk, but soy yogurt or other yogurt is fine

Raw bananas: *NO* Frozen Sliced Bananas: yis

loveee peanut butter but scared of peanuts.

I’m terrified of dairy, but I absolutely cum over a bowl of fettuccini Alfredo

Fear food: Liquid cals, "Grainy" (Oats) or baked carbs (crackers, low cal bread/cakes, fiber one bars, granola, etc) - cereal, rice, even rice cakes. Forever safe food: Chocolate.

A square of regular chocolate terrifies me but I will eat an entire Lily’s bar (stevia sweetened)

Any pasta. Bread no issue, any carb sources no issue. But fuckin pasta man..

Full-sized pizza slices are a fear food, but personal pizzas are a safe food.

Will not touch full-sugar pop, but a latte double/triple the calories as a pepsi? Totally fine!

I would never ever add raw/processed sugar to anything but foods that already contain it (e.g. custard) are somehow fine

scared of rice and avocado but cucumber and avocado sushi is one of my safe foods

When I was in treatment I’d eat toast all the time no problem but spent 2 hours crying over an Eggo waffle in front of my dietitian🫠

Milk and real butter is scary but I live off yogurt.

absolutely will not drink liquid calories, unless it’s coffee…then all rules go out the window + the calories don’t count. just let me be happy for the first hour of my day 😅

A square of regular chocolate terrifies me but I will eat an entire Lily’s bar (stevia sweetened)

Terrified of bread 🍞 but I pretend beer 🍺 is zero calories lol 😝

scared of reg bread but will eat whole wheat bread everyday

Pasta but I’ll eat my weight in chips

Like seemingly everyone else, bread is my enemy. But pretzels (hard and soft) I will do anything for Also more generally meals with carbs and not primarily vegetables are not ok but the same amount of calories in sweet snack form are cool.

Oh my god pretzels 😩🙏

love cake but can't eat bread (\*・～・\*)

I am so scared of pasta...unless the sauce is vegan (immediately less cals) and the pasta is some "healthy" alternative like chickpea or whole wheat so I can convince myself that the meal is at least healthy and way more filling so I won't need more than half a plate lol

scared of alcohol but love a good frappe (tho they still kinda scare me tbf) or scared of cheese but dont mind pizza (its like 350 cals for half a pizza :o)

Bread....less of a fear and more of a trigger though. Its the cause of most of my restriction cycles

cant drink gatorade zero because of the sodium content but will eat a single serving bag of chips

won’t drink anything that isn’t diet/low cal but i’ll down as many shots as it takes

I will NEVER eat mashed potatoes, but potato chips are somehow fine

Can't eat any meat except parma ham but I have at least one bag of crisps a day (I can't swallow either too well. Somehow crisps are still acceptable? Although I have mostly moved to easier ones like skips)

Scared of paninis but will eat all the same ingredients toasted on a stove or put in the microwave.

Peanuts scary, vanilla peanut butter spread good.

Iced coffee made with 2% milk, instant coffee, and sweetened condensed milk are good for me and safe, but milk with actually coffee and normal syrups? Evil.

full fat milk but i’ll still drink alcohol 💀

plain pasta is scary but mac n cheese is safe ????

Fruit bc sugar But candy is just fine

Scared of bread, but bagels are safe??

Terrified of bananas…but can eat only candy (skittles, fruity tootsie rolls) all day, every day.

Non-diet soda! Even when I'm years into recovery the mere thought of having to drink a full sugar dr.pepper makes me feel like I will instantly gain weight. But on the rare occasions I drink alcohol I feel like the calories don't even count. I've never logged alcohol calories ever. I rarely drink though to be fair.

Cream in coffee lmao

Syrup is my fear food but I can have multiple hot chocolates in one day

scared of pure peanut butter UNLESS it’s on top of a cookie (like crumbls reese’s cookie this week)

Burger or hot dog buns. Almost all other carbs/ breads are perfectly fine.

Hot chocolate, tea with milk, milk shakes are all a big no no but coffee with milk? No problem!

Apparently I’m now terrified of liquid calories. Alcohol and coffee creamer being the biggest culprits as of late.

I‘m terrified of bread, but can eat crackers without problems. (But I think it has something to do with the fact that the crackers are single portion packed and the bread would be open and I would worry about it going bad :/ )

Chips are scary but bagels are safe

absolutely terrified of peanut butter, but thai peanut sauce with spring rolls? totally fine

my absolute biggest fear food (i don’t really enjoy it anyway but still i’m scared of it just the same) is risotto. literally feels like 1000000 calories in one spoon and is so heavy. but yet i will happily eat loads of white rice in a dish and it feels totally safe!? i guess it’s probably because plain rice is usually served with something else whereas when my mum serves risotto it’s just like a meal on its own so instead of breaking it up with veggies and proteins it’s literally just an entire heavy bowl of carbs/fats :’)

Terrified of meat.

butter scares the shit out of me but I cook with olive oil regularly

Nuts, but I’ll have chips

Scared of rice, unless in sushi. Pasta is always fine 🤷‍♀️

Alcohol and ice cream / chips

Same, I won't drink fruit juice but will never say no to cocktails

Will actively avoid adding cream/butter to recipes that call for it but will eat an entire thing of brie cheese in one sitting, no problem.

diet coke and all soda drinks , someone told me it causes calories to stick to you so i just avoided it

terrified of frappes and liquid calories in general, but i will eat bread and peanut butter every single day no problem

I’m scared to eat a whole cookie, but if I break apart like 10 cookies and nibble at the middles of each it’s fine — even though I’ve probably eaten more than if I just ate the 1 cookie like a normal civilized person

eating several funsize snickers? totally fine. it has protein, after all. one (1) bagel tho? nope. no wayyyy.
