New food

It's been a long while now since I've tried something new, even longer since I've tried something and was able to eat it without any so called methods (distraction/etc). Today I bought a shop sandwich which had cheese, spring onion, mayonnaise and lettuce. While it may not seem much I was able to eat half the sandwich without any problems which is a major achievement for me. While the taste was fairly strong and new to me I can't say I love it, but can't say I dislike it!

Documentary: My Child Won't Eat

I recently watched a documentary on ITV1 called My Child Won't Eat. It revolved around 3 familes with children at varies ages having eating problems. It introduced child psychologist Dr Gillian Harris, who has different methods to most other doctors, by telling parents not to force their kids and to try relax around meals/food.


While I found the program interesting I don't think the eating problems show were that similar to mine. My problem has not been in lack of trying, but lack of ability to not gag on the food going down. However I'm glad to see the program being shown as all increases in awareness about eating problems is good.
