In a restaurant or even at home I have often tried to persuade others to choose dishes that I knew I would like even though I would probably refuse to eat them.

When I have eaten in company I have liked to be with special friends or family members whom I can rely on to finish off some foods for me.

I have had a list of so many things that I dare not eat, so that there is very little left that I can eat.

I have often chewed something and then take it out of my mouth and throw it away.

I have particularly enjoyed eating raw vegetables and also salty or sour things.

When I have eaten in company I have tended to time my eating as a form of strategy so that others are not really aware of just how little I am eating.

When I have eaten something reasonably substantial I have tended to feel disappointed or even angry with myself as well as slightly relieved.

I have become irritable and impatient at meal times if someone has tried to persuade me to eat something.

I have often avoided meal times by claiming that I have already eaten when it is not true.

Some food has made me wish I could eat it like other people do but I nonetheless find that I could not bring myself to do so.
