I've been ordering things that I don't like if I share with LO so she'll eat more things. Like I used to ask for my sandwiches plain, but now I'll ask for them with everything on them and pick the stuff off and give it to her. That's how I found out she has a love for tomatoes, which I hate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188968 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 09:52:21 +0000 mrs. wagon 188968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a very picky eater :( My parents hated it while I was growing up. My mom always said I eat like a bird. Now that I have control over what's on the table, I no longer eat like a bird, unless you count vultures and those kinds of birds that swallow their prey whole.</p> <p>This has been a huge challenge for us since it's hard to get Wagon Jr. to eat veggies. After all, why should he eat it if Mommy won't eat it? It's also tough to keep fruits and veggies in the house that I don't like or I'm allergic to. Every fruit he eats is one that I'm not allergic to (bananas, apples, grapes) because I know that if he doesn't finish them before they go bad, at least I can eat them. It's also just tough to purchase things when you know you yourself will never consume it!</p> <p>I need to eat more veggies so Wagon Jr. will eat more :( Wagon Sr. will eat ANYTHING. He loves all food. So if our kids are picky, it's 100% my fault!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188942 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 09:35:33 +0000 BSB 188942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: OMG, that's how I feel. I wonder what my coworkers think when I dont finish my food. We have been out so many times and I never manage to finish my food. I wonder if they think I'm wasteful when we have lunch catererd on-site and I try a bite and don't like it and end up throwing it away.</p> <p>As for my parents, they will eat everything and usually clean their plate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188898 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 08:48:15 +0000 Mrs. Bee 188898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i eat most everything, but i'm picky in the sense that i don't like eating the same thing often. i like variety! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188896 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 08:45:47 +0000 Alivoo01 188896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I eat pretty much everything or am open to trying everything at least once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188700 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 21:51:52 +0000 MamaMoose 188700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am. And I hate it. Its annoying for me and I know it's annoying to others around me even if they don't say so. I always feel like a child when I have to say I don't like to eat something. But despite trying to expand my horizons there are some things I'll just never like, like shellfish. It will be a serious goal of mine to be sure our children are exposed to a wide variety of foods from a young age so they hopefully won't be picky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188696 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 21:45:56 +0000 DillonLion 188696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. Allergies are one thing, but otherwise there's no reason not to try new foods. They usually taste good and broaden your horizons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188693 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 21:41:44 +0000 hilsy85 188693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I will try almost anything except organ meat type stuff. I will be really sad if our kids are picky eaters! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188681 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 21:25:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 188681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweet T: I'm not a big fan of raw onion either, unless it's in fresh salsa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188677 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 21:23:24 +0000 Sweet T 188677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love food and don't consider myself to be picky at all. There are a few common foods that I don't eat though and people think it's weird...like fresh tomatoes or raw onion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188676 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 21:20:48 +0000 lovehoneybee 188676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always want to say I'm not, but I am. I won't touch most seafood, with the exception of a very few types of fish (usually tilapia and salmon), and then I have to be in the right mood for them. The thought of shellfish makes me gag. I can't stand avocado or olives, and don't like sour or tart fruits (like grapes or green apples--unless the apples are in pie form). I do like foods with lemon in them, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188673 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 21:20:06 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 188673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I love food! There are only a couple things I won't eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188665 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 21:07:30 +0000 BSB 188665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I love leftovers, too. It usually tastes better when I take it home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188649 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 20:54:23 +0000 calsmom 188649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a very picky eater. I avoid most foods that are white. Strange, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188648 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 20:49:48 +0000 Boogs 188648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: And I loooove leftovers, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188594 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 20:07:22 +0000 chopsuey 188594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

I also tend to eat really healthy so I don't eat a lot of things (fried food, dessert, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188519 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:52:45 +0000 MrsCastro 188519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i use to be a really picky eater until i met the hubs, and things changed...i have a new love of trying new things... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188511 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:41:15 +0000 Rubies 188511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! The only thing I won't eat is cucumber. Blech! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188510 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:40:07 +0000 mrs. bird 188510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes=( i wish i wasn't. i've always been sensitive about food. when i was little, if i was told i had to eat something i didn't like, i would end up throwing up. now, i'd rather go hungry than eat something i don't want. i also don't like to try new foods in front of people, too much pressure to like it. i need to be in a place where it's ok to try it and reject it if i don't want to have anymore of it. i guess i've got issues =D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188502 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:25:05 +0000 sandy 188502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not very picky...I will try almost anything and enjoy all types of food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188483 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:14:34 +0000 BSB 188483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I'll try different foods but I won't finish it. It's bad. It could be really tasty but I just can't finish eating it not at one sitting. I usually always take home leftovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188478 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:11:07 +0000 Arden 188478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People think I am, but I don't think I am. I only dislike a couple of vegetables (okra, eggplant, zuchinni). I eat basically everything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188477 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:11:03 +0000 Minnie_Girl 188477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be, but I discovered real food at 20 and haven't looked back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188476 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:10:04 +0000 Boogs 188476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, I like to try most things at least once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-picky-eater-1#post-188475 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:09:24 +0000 eeh 188475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I'm very picky.
