eating habits

Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), previously known as selective eating disorder (SED), is a type of eating disorder, where certain foods are limited based on appearance, smell, taste, texture, brand, presentation, or a past negative experience with the food, to a point that may damage their health. The person may forget to eat and may only eat when they are starving. ARFID is usually developed around 18 months and people with this eating disorder may have anxiety too.

    Eating alone

    How do you feel about eating alone? Do you prefer it to eating with others? Or maybe its simply different and a chance to indulge in foods others don't really like. Do you ever eat alone in a restaurant? I used to do that a lot, when I lived alone in London. I'd take a book with me (it was...

    What’s your eating speed?

    How fast or slow do you tend to eat? Are you a “get in there and get the job done,” or are you a lingerer? Does your speed adjust given the circumstance? Do you have a preference, fast or slow? Where’s this all coming from? Well, MrsT has observed/complained that, left to my own devices, I...

    Knives & forks

    My partner always eats dinner with a fork in his right hand (no knife). If something needs cutting up he will put the knife in his right hand, fork in the other to cut it and then put the knife down and eat the food with the fork in his right hand. If at all possible he uses the side of the fork...

    Things I do when I'm eating

    I suppose ideally we should sit quietly when eating, contemplating each mouthful. Or maybe eat together with family or friends chatting amiably. But in reality, how many of us do? Personally I like to either watch television or read a book. I find it difficult to just sit and eat. I don't much...

    How many meals do you eat each day?

    How many meals and snacks do you eat each day and which ones are most important to you? I write here as someone who eats very oddly - I eat one very late meal per day which is not usually very calorific. Tasting the food I cook happens all day and usually I have some sort of snack like a small...
