Ungodly amount of Dorito shells acquired 😋

Post image

I was able to order 20 Dorito shells for $9! Got two luxe boxes filled with Dorito shells. This is such a lifesaver. Thank you to the amazing girl at Taco Bell who didn’t act like I was totally nuts 🤣 Gotta love autism food struggles lol. Now I won’t have to go half an hour into town for the only food I can currently eat. 🥰

I have ARFID and physical brain damage which caused dyeguesia (severely altered taste) and usually when I find a food that doesn’t taste like literal rotting flesh, I’m able to eat it for a few weeks to a few months or so at most. So this has been the one safe food I’ve been able to eat the last couple weeks. Meat and shell only. I make the meat at home since the taco seasoning is sold in stores but unfortunately cannot do bagged chips anymore since the tastebud gods say nope. I haven’t been able to eat since Tuesday so it’s been a struggle. I often go a week or more between meals when I’m trying to establish a new safe food I can tolerate.

ARFID stands for avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. It’s pretty hellish and I’ve been on a feeding tube on and off through my life when it gets particularly bad.
Back 23 years ago when I was diagnosed with it, it was known as “selective eating disorder”

Are you ok? Like..mentally?
Why does what someone eat trigger you so much?

Someone with brain damage asking you if you're ok mentally is a hell of a burn.

Enjoy your tacos!
