    Anything high in carbohydrates. I wouldn't even eat toast.

    The banana thing might be because they have alot of sugars. I typically stay away from ALL fast foods/processed foods and all meats. I know what they can do to your body, and I always feel ****ty after eating anything like processed cheeses.

    Well I have a list of over 200...so don't think I am going to have room to post them all here. But why not instead of posting the fear foods we post how and when we overcome them? Like tonight I faced bananas and graham crackers :)

    The one I feel most daft about fearing are starchy vegetables. But most carb foods or sugary/savoury snacks scare me

    Oh god I have billions... Mostly things I would binge on after going too long without eating, sugary foods, cheesy foods, bread, oily, salty, greasy foods, honey bunches of oats went from being a safe food to a fear food, crackers, the list goes on...

    ^^agreed :) If you want to recover, you need to work through eating your fear foods. It's hard as hell, but eventually, fear foods become a thing of the past and you can finally begin to enjoy eating again!
