    You would think someone with ARFID would want to gain weight. Or am I misunderstanding what symptoms are associated with that?

      ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (for those who don’t know)) means that a lot of food triggers negative reactions. It is a spectrum though, reactions vary, triggers vary, etc. For me, a lot of vegetables, fruits etc make me not want to eat them, but unhealthy foods like fries, nuggets, pasta, burgers, etc are absolutely fine.

          I’m not. Trying to get away from sugary drinks for the I don’t know how manyth time, because water is boring and diet drinks usually taste like cancer (they got better though).

            I managed to make the jump to 7-up free from Coke. I do quite enjoy it now.

            You can also try those dilute drinks, to liven up water.
