How to Stop Being a Picky Eater

Do you find yourself examining every plate of food that's put in front of you to check that it meets your personal food rules?

Is eating with others a trial because you might get faced with something that you don't want to try?

Being a 'picky eater' is not uncommon, but it depends how far it goes. The psychiatrists would like to call it 'selective eating disorder', but we prefer to think of it as a bad habit you got into at some point.

Being very careful about what you eat is sensible behavior in certain specific contexts. For instance, if you are in a place you don't know whose cuisine you are unfamiliar with, or where you are very uncertain of the food hygiene. Or if you have specific allergies or health conditions where certain foodstuffs can make you ill. But for most of us, in our home cultures, it's pretty safe to eat pretty well anything.

Picky eaters are caught up in anxiety

Sometimes you can get caught up in a pattern of anxiety and refusal around certain foods that doesn't have any solid basis in reality. There can be lots of reasons for this, ranging from early childhood experiences with food to maybe a couple of disastrous encounters with certain foodstuffs that just make you scared to try anything new ever again.

Does it matter if you're a picky eater?

While in the big scheme of things being very choosy about your food doesn't matter all that much, it can be a pain to you and to people around you at the personal level. It's embarrassing to feel that you've got to refuse to eat food that others have carefully prepared for you, for instance. And it's a shame to be cut off from the wide range of pleasurable food experiences that other people take for granted.

But there is something you can do about it.

If there isn't an important health reason for you to limit the range of foods you eat, you can personally train your brain to expand the scope of foods that it will tag as 'acceptable' and 'safe' for you to try, even if occasionally you eat something that upsets your digestion temporarily. And the fastest and most effective way to do this is with hypnosis.
