Hi /sci, I have a problem with food. I can only eat some 8 dishes I like, and I would very much like to be able to eat anything because it's a big problem for trips and work. However, the second I take a bite of anything else, I almost throw up. It's not that I don't want to make the effort of eating something I don't find delicious - it's that if I take this effort, I feel like puking and can't get past the first bite. Do you know anything about this kind of problem?
then its a mental problem, maybe a phobia.
Find a way to sense deprive yourself(take away sight,smell, and taste) then eat it.

Smoke some pot, dude. You'll be much better, believe me.

Actually make an effort in trying different foods. You will get used to it eventually.

Yup, I'm pretty sure it's a mental problem. I can take away sight, and not mind smell, but the second I put something with a weird texture, constitution, etc. in my mouth I start nauseating, I'd like to solve the nausea thing, because if I did, I could make an effort to get used to other tastes; I already did for food that somehow didn't trigger it, but most food do. I'm considering hypnosis.

Are you counting snacks and stuff? Coz if you are, only being able to eat 8 things would be kind of insane.

Nope, I'm counting main dishes. I can eat almost all snacks (they rarely produce my problem), and like the taste of about half of them.
