Dont eat with your ass.

But also yes. Im lucky mine has proteins & vitamins, but these days I only get still l stuck with it a few weeks at a time. Then completely forget about it. Just ADD magic.

Soylent green = Somewhat functioning life + Depression

I used to be way more limited and improved over time, but there are still tistic traces.

I am usually willing to experiment with something new, but once I find which variant of it I like most, I'll almost never eat any other variant. I'll make specific meals the exact same way, order the exact same thing at restaurants, and be way happier for it. I also cycle through the same meals over the span of a week for most of them. I eat the same healthyish cereal every day, because while I know cereal isn't healthy, I hate healthy alternatives and how inconvenient they are for a minor meal. I absolutely hate certain mouthfeels or taste combinations. I will always eat onion rings from any restaurant that has them.

I basically expanded my palette by redirecting my autism rather than fighting it. I blacklist instead of whitelist, while creating a set of principles that guide my behavior. I convince my autism to favor healthy foods and variety, using the ridged thinking to combat the ridged thinking.

What if that food is extremely well-balanced in terms of nutrients?

Depression + Weed + Same food day after day = It’s fine.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (3 children)

FYI, that's super unhealthy.

New uni and friends tell me that I shouldnt eat too much shrimp at the school's cafeteria cause its the only good dish and I will get tired of it. They severely underestimated my love for shrimp. Im motherfucking Bubba from forest Gump, I will eat shrimp in every way, every day, for the rest of my life if I can. I fucking love shrimp.

Man it would be hilarious if you found a partner who had a severe shellfish allergy.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

You mean my first girlfriend? She didn't have shellfish allergy but somehow she was allergic to shrimp specifically. Believe or not it didn't cause much issue but I nvr lived with her so who knows how it could've been

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Glad to hear it didn't cause issues! May it never do so in your future. I knew a girl who loved cats and had to get rid of her cat(s) that she had from late childhood/early teens because her boyfriend was severely allergic to cats and there was no other way if they were to live together. Everyone who knew her thought she'd rather give up a guy than the idea of ever having a cat again but well there they go, I think they married two years ago (after dating for like 12 years). But the choice to never live the cats infused life she wanted was hard. Apparently she would have been more willing to compromise on having kids (despite really wanting a family) than on giving up cats.

Oof that's rough, at least with food you don't have to completely give up on it with good practices and being careful. Anyway, allergies fucking suck

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Has it reached 25+ years for me yet? Somewhere around there.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 months ago (1 children)

As a person who gets tired of the same food very frequently this sounds pretty good

[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 months ago (3 children)

It's all fun and games till you get health problems. I should eat something else, but I get super nervous whenever someone suggests I eat a new food. I do cook some potatoes once a month tho.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You can maybe diversify a bit by adding other stuff while leaving the base the same.

E.g. my go to is oat meal. But you can add apples, bananas, nuts, strawberries, seeds, etc. This should combat the one dimensionality of that lifestyle a bit. At least I hope so, lol.
