Living as a picky eater isn't something you choose, but rather it's something that chooses you. Food is obviously an important part of our everyday life and we live in a very food-centric and food-obsessed world. Eating can be a stressful event for all those people who just weren’t born with an eccentric taste palette. Many people are picky eaters as children, but start liking different foods more as they become adults. And then there are those people who don’t grow out of their eating habits as children (like me!) and the non-picky “I’ll-Eat-ANYTHING!” people out there have a hard time understanding that. Picky eaters have weird eating habits that don't make any sense to the average person. When it comes to picky eaters, I think I just might be the pickiest eater alive (plus I am allergic to half of the foods in the world and am lactose intolerant). If you're a picky eater too, you can probably relate to many, if not all, of the awkward situations that come up because of only liking as many things to eat as I have fingers on my hands. There is no doubt that being a picky eater comes with its struggles.

1.) You have to look up restaurant menus ahead of time every time you go somewhere new to make sure there’s something you’re willing to eat.

2.) When ordering at a restaurant, there is a whole list of what you toppings or sauce that you want left off of your plate that you have to tell the waiter about.

3.) You constantly remind people that it’s not your fault.

4.) Your number one most heard phrase is the most dreadful "one more bite."

5.) When you go over to a person's house and they cook for you, but it's something you simply can't eat, but you don't want to be rude about not eating what they've made.

6.) Going to a restaurant and still ordering from the children’s menu.

7.) Going hungry a lot of the time because nothing's ever appetizing.

8.) Having to have multiple plates at a meal because if your food touches you WILL NOT eat it.

9.) When people are constantly telling you that you don't eat "anything."

10.) You eat the same food over and over.

11.) You’re impossible to cook for (Just ask my mom).
