[quote=Anonymous]My MIL, who is visiting now, is the pickiest eater I know. It drives me crazy. She likes to say that she has a sensitive stomach, but I’m pretty sure she has orthorexia rooted in anxiety. She’s also got some body image issues going on. I try not to fight it, but it is tiresome to deal with. She hardly ever eats at a restaurant, which means that we have to pack food for every outing we go on. When she comes for a visit, I have to drive all around town to get the specific brand of bread, almond butter, strawberry, and frozen green beans she will eat. Every morning, she eats the same thing… toast with almond butter and cut up banana on top. In the evening, she always has a half of a a banana for her pre-bedtime snack. The only seasoning she tolerates is salt and onion powder. The only proteins she will eat are plain baked salmon, chicken, and steak. She doesn’t eat most vegetables. She will occasionally eat a very plain hamburger. She only drinks de caffeinated green tea and water.

She is also highly interested in the food other people eat. When we make sandwiches for lunch, she goes around the table asking everyone what they put in their sandwich. She wants to know what I’m cooking even though there is no way she would eat it. She’s always hanging over me when I’m in the kitchen!

Argh!!!! She’s leaving tomorrow. Thank god!! [/quote]
