The 10 Struggles of Being a Picky Eater

"You don't eat fruits or veggies?" If you hear this regularly, congrats! You are a member of the picky eaters club.

Here are 10 relatable struggles of picky eaters:

1. Eating fast food 24/7

Eating an average of 50 chicken nuggets a week is okay.

2. Ordering off the Kid's Menu



Always ordering chicken nuggets, pizza or mac and cheese because you have no clue what pasta primavera is.

3. Having to say you "aren't hungry" at a friends house because you are afraid it's rude if you tell them you don't like it

"Yeah I just ate" probably the biggest lie you have told your friends parents.

4. Not eating at school

Putting sandwiches in your pocket and flushing them down the toilet--Yes I've done this.

5. Having a different meal at supper than the rest of the family



Me: Eating a microwavable pizza--Rest of Family: Eating some random homemade casserole with no clue what's actually in it.

6. When your friends ask to go out to eat, but you have to check out their menu online first.

Thank God for cellphones and the Internet or else us picky eaters would be stuck only ordering a drink.

7. The possibility of a heart attack from all the junk you eat


Let's be real. All the processed foods we eat has probably clogged half of our arteries

8. You get mad when your food groups touch

My biggest pet peeve is when restaurants feel the need to add green garnish. Whether it be parsley or lettuce. Yes, I can still taste the remnants of the greens in my food and I most likely will not eat it

9. Being interrogated as to why you don't eat certain foods

"Why are you so picky?" Well simply because I do not care for the taste of many foods.

10. Fear of trying new foods


I'm sure we have all experienced this scary phenomenon before. Us picky eaters are completely taken out of their comfort zone. Not to mention, rarely do we actually like the food we are attempting to consume.

All in all, we may be a pain when it comes to food. But just remember--we didn't choose the picky eater life, the picky eater life chose us.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
