Myarfidlife - MY JOURNEY
Добавлен 20 янв 2024
Hannah - 8 year old with ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). I will be posting my journey to recovery from this very difficult eating disorder. I have a list of safe foods that I eat, and there are so many foods that I have never tried. Because of my ARFID, I am in danger of needing to be on tube feeding if I don't gain weight and grow the way my body needs. Because of my malnutrition, it causes a lot of physical and emotional problems for me. People with ARFID often have a lot of sensory issues, or have had a traumatic experience with food. I am afraid of trying food that I am not familiar with because I worry that something bad may happen. I get bad migraines because I don't eat enough and my migraines cause me to throw up. I have Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome which means that when I throw up one time, I can't stop throwing up for hours. I have really bad anxiety and am afraid that if I don't like a food it will make me throw up. Please join me on my journey to recovery.
MCDONALDS HAPPY MEAL
Today I decided to get a happy meal from McDonalds. I got a plain hamburger, fries, and a bottle of water.
Whenever I eat a hamburger patty, I eat it plain without the bun. Today I decided I was going to try it with the bun. I still have a very hard time with condiments, so I wanted it plain.
It was actually pretty good, and helped with the flavor of the dry patty. The bun was a good texture and together it was a good combination. I rate this an 8/10 and could definitely eat this again. I hope one day I will be able to try it with ketchup too.
I ate about 3/4 of the hamburger and about 10 fries. That is a very big meal for me, so I am proud of myself for eating that much.

RICE KRISPY CEREAL
Просмотров 4 тыс.4 месяца назад
Home sweet home! Today I decided to try Rice Krispy cereal. When I would think about rice krispys, I always thought they were sticky and rough. Now, after seeing it, it doesn’t look that way and I was less worried about trying it. The first bite was way too dry. I really don’t like milk with cereal so my mom suggested I try it with almond milk. At first I didn’t want to, but then I decided to t...
CAPTAIN BERRY CRUNCH
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.4 месяца назад
I decided to try the Captain Crunch Berries. The colored berries remind me a lot of fruit loops and they smell like fruit. I decided to try my fear colors just so that I can get used to eating red and green foods. I really liked the yellow crunch ones because they have a really good flavor. It’s not too sweet and the flavor isn’t too strong. They also have a really good crunch. They kind of rem...
STARBUCKS CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.4 месяца назад
This was such a disappointment. I love milk chocolate and I love croissants. When I tried a plain croissant from @starbucks last time, many of you recommended I try the chocolate croissant. I was really looking forward to trying it and thought I would like it. I really didn’t like how it looked, the chocolate oozing out of it reminded me of something gross. The chocolate is way too bitter and t...
CHILDHOOD MIGRAINES AND ARFID
Просмотров 3,4 тыс.4 месяца назад
Unfortunately I have to deal with headaches pretty often. They sometimes turn into migraines and I get very nauseas. This morning I woke up with a bad headache so my mom reminded me that I need to drink a lot of water to stay hydrated and I need to eat. I wasn’t really in the mood to eat anything because I was already feeling nauseas. I remembered that my brother bought me a @drinkprime recentl...
FEAR FOOD
Просмотров 4,4 тыс.4 месяца назад
WOAH!!!!!! I can’t believe I just did that! I never thought I’d be able to overcome this fear, and I just did!!!! 👏🏻 I’ve tried sugar snap peas and snow peas and really didn’t like them. Many suggested to try peas without the pod, so today that’s what I decided to try. I was very nervous and they looked very scary. They smell like grass and dirt mixed together and they are green! They all have ...
BAGEL WITH BUTTER
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.4 месяца назад
I have a very hard time with condiments. Condiments change the color, flavor and texture of foods, so I never use them. I like bagels, but I normally eat them plain. I also don’t like them toasted because it also changes the color and texture of it. I have tried a bagel with plain cream cheese and with strawberry cream cheese and I didn’t like them. Today I decided to try a heated up bagel with...
CHOCOLATE PUDDING

This was a BIG win for me. I have been so anxious to try the chocolate pudding because I was worried about the texture. I like chocolate and wanted to try it but I haven’t been able to get myself to do it. This is a food that I have been avoiding. Today I finally decided to do it and I was really struggling to prepare myself for it. I didn’t even know what the pudding looked like and I was alre...
APPLE CINAMMON CHERRIOS
Просмотров 5824 месяца назад
Cheerios are one of my safe foods. I eat them plain, since I don’t drink milk. I saw these limited edition apple cinamon cheerios that are in a heart shape. They looked interesting so I wanted to try them. I like apple and cinammon flavors so I wanted to see how it would taste on a cheerio. They are too dry and the flavor isn’t my favorite. They taste like cinammon at the beginning and then the...
GOLDFISH CRISPS
Просмотров 7754 месяца назад
I really like sour cream and onion flavor. I like the sour cream and onion pringles and the sour cream and onion corn puffs which are both of my safe foods. Goldfish are also one of my safe foods. I was excited when I saw these sour cream and onion goldfish crisps because it’s like all of my safe foods combined. I was really looking forward to trying these but they weren’t what I expected. The ...
GREEN APPLES
Просмотров 8224 месяца назад
Green is one of my fear colors, so I usually avoid foods that are green. I haven’t tried a green apple yet, and many of you recommended it. So far Inhave tried 5 different apples. The Honeycrisp, Cosmic Crisp, Pink Lady, Sweet Tango, and the Envy. One thing I like about apples is that they have a really good crunch. All of the apples I’ve tried have been either sweet or sweet and sour. I have h...

I usually take the weekends off from trying new foods, but yesterday when we were at the store I saw these @nutella pretzel and go and I’ve been trying to find them for a while. I was really excited to try them so I decided to do it today. I have tried many different things with Nutella, like the biscuits, cookies, breadsticks and more. I haven’t really liked any of them because I don’t really ...
BEING UNCOMFORTABLE TO GET COMFORTABLE
Просмотров 8384 месяца назад
Being uncomfortable is a feeling that no one likes. We always prefer to do things that are comfortable because we know what to expect, and we don’t feel anxiety when we are comfortable. It’s very hard to go out of our comfort zone, do hard things, and face our fears. But, it’s also very important to be uncomfortable because it gives us an opportunity to learn and grow. Every time I try a new fo...
MASHED POTATOS

I am so proud of myself!! The last 3 foods I’ve tried have been big challenges. I decided to try mashed potatos today. Veggies are very hard for me, but I really want to start trying them. Most of them give me a lot of anxiety, so I decided I would try a Potato in a different form. I really like French fries, so I decided I would try them. My mom and I made them together and even when we were m...
BIG FEAR - MILK #arfid

I did it!!!! 👏🏻 I faced one of my biggest fears!!! I tried MILK!!!!🥛 I like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, so I wanted to try the mini version of it. I wanted to be extra brave today and try it with milk. When I tried it with the cereal it didn’t taste like much, very similar to water. I feel like it took a lot of the cinnamon off of the cereal and was it was floating in the milk. I didn’t like ...

CHICK-FIL-A FRIES - POTATO SKIN???
Brianna should literally try ERM let's think cherry 🍒🍒 pot pie 🥧🥧
I've binge watched every one of your videos since learning about your channel yesterday. I tried toasted english muffin toast today - some with butter and some with peanut butter because I like both of those flavors. I liked them. My son (doesn't have ARFID but is picky) tried them as well. It was a good experience for our first new food to try. I really like the tips and tricks you've shared from therapy. I will be implementing them as I try new foods. I'm in my mid 40s, but absolutely love the explanation of things from a child's perspective. It makes the scary parts seem less scary. I look forward to more videos in the future. Possible tip for you: Try organic versions of fresh foods like fruits and vegetables. My only vegetable currently is raw carrots but I've found that non-organic carrots are more likely to have sporadic bad tasting ones. Organic carrots almost always have the same taste that I like. Same with apples and grapes. I will try sweet potato fries as my next vegetable thanks to your video :) I also wanted to comment on how you just pop a big piece of food in your mouth like a rock star! I'm not that brave yet and take tiny bites. Maybe that will change someday soon. Keep up the amazing work!
When were you diagnosed
your smart tho you skipped 2 class
I was diagnosed with AFRID in my late 30s. I tried exposure therapy with an ARFID specialist maybe 5 years ago without much success. I'm now getting ready to start using the CBT-AR Food Hierarchy with a nutritionist. She told me about Hannah and this channel today so here I am watching these videos for motivation. This is the second one I've watched and it made me cry as you were talking about things others say. It really does trigger some negative emotions, even as a grown woman. Before being diagnosed, I tried hypnosis. I went to a guy who specialized in smoking cessation of all things, but after a single session, I was able to eat a cheeseburger. I didn't try it right away. It was a month or two afterward when I decided to order one at a restaurant and to my surprise, I really liked it! I've been searching for this guy for the last 5 years with no success :( I did recently get a referral to a hypnotherapist who specializes in eating disorders, so I will be trying her to see if it will help again. Another thing I do is acupuncture sessions. They are not focused on ARFID, but he does include needles that are meant to lessen my gag reflex. I'm uncertain how well it works at this point, but we'll see in the coming weeks as I begin my ARFID journey. Thanks for the motivation Hannah!
Anyone here from Dhar mann?
First time hearing about ARFID today. After watching her videos I feel so bad but at the same time so proud of how she's trying to overcome this condition. When I was a kid I'm a picky eater and I used to cry a lot when they're trying to feed me something that I don't really like. That made me anxious and throw up. You're such a brave girl Hannah!! I just pray that someday you'll overcome this and enjoy food just like most people do.
Respectfully, it’s really not a good idea to discuss your children’s problems to others in front of your children. I would strongly encourage you to remove this video. I stopped watching at about two minutes into the video.
Hello Hannah your a very smart inspirational young lady ❤
Try new foods or get zapped
You’re dismissed
Well, obviously, it’s hot. They had to cook it.

Who is here after the dhar Mann video 👍
I can’t smell, eat, or see someone eat a banana, I also can’t stand hearing the word shrimp and I will throw up if I hear it thinking about it makes me sick, I can’t stand yogurt either due to texture it makes my stomach hurt thinking about it. I have really bad emetophobia and I find it hard to not go anywhere without thinking that what if I throw up or someone else does or I step somewhere where someone threw up at some point what if they throw up right now.
She’s not malnourished , she has healthy hair and skin, no symptoms of a child that doesn’t get enough nutrition. She’s looking at people for reactions and getting all this attention , everytime she screws her face up or try’s something. Everything you do is giving her “special attention” for the way she acts so she is continuing the nonsense 😢
I have Afrid after seeing Hannah I have been inspired to eat sprouts and cucumbers and I never eat vegetables it’s a scary illness and I get a lot of negative judgment. Thanks 🙏 Hannah 😊
GIRL I BELIEVE IN YOUU!! ❤
I just found out today my daughter has this.... She is 13... I wish I was aware of this years ago. I hope she can try food like you do. Thanks for sharing

Hannah is an amazing and very smart girl. Thank you very much for those videos. I hope it will help my Mia with her eating. Mia is nearly 8 years old and quite tall (130cm) but eats very limited verity of food. Hannah inspires Mia to try new stuff- we tried scrambled eggs and blueberry jam with no spitting (it is still on don't like list). We're looking forward seeing more videos of Hannah. Love from the UK🇬🇧 xx
I’m 8 too
Ppl think I have arfid or a eating disorder cuz I refuse to eat food. I throw up after eating food also certain smells make me sick like the smell of freshly cooked things. if I eat pizza ill puke. In reality I just have really bad stomach acid and don't like eating foods and smelling freshly cooked things im taking pills in the morning to stop stomach pain and I'm taking Another one for vomiting I'm also lactose intolerant so I take a pill so I can eat things that contains dairy some ppl think I'm just tryna be funny when I gag but I'm not and end up vomiting for a while. Sometimes my stomach pain is so bad that I scream for help and cry.
You can try something not every day and
WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY SIMILARITIES WAIT NO IT CAN’T BE ;( edit: i just gagged at ham
she looked a bit camera shy in this video imo 😅
