I have two kids, 5 and 1.5 yrs old, and I think my elder is now also a picky eater and very nervous and sensitive thanks to my ED (it's atypical bulimia, I used to work out excessively, no vomiting, right now I have depression so even if I want to exercise I just am powerless to do that I feel so tired and depressed all the time so I don't do it and then the ED-guilt just overwhelms me). It's hard for me to get myself together and it's even more harder to take proper care of them. Sometimes I think they deserve a better mom..
Take care!

Omg I feel this way also. Meal time is such a huge anxiety for me, it's like all he wants to eat is peanut butter toast or 'crap food' as I said to my psychiatrist. And actually I have to give him props, he was very helpful this time, switched me off olanzapine, even talked with me about his own kids picky eating habits and how they only like to eat crap food- chicken nuggets and fries, he said 'they are just kids'... So that did make me feel better. But yeah, I still feel like a big time failure. I hate cooking so I am not good at 'introducing' new foods, plus I don't want to eat so cooking is a trigger. Gah! It's so stupid.
