mayalaenBefore we bought this house and moved in together, my parents were like “we can eat the same thing every night we’re easy to please” and I was like oh cool because I like making large amounts of something and eating it until it’s gone.
They were totally on board and acted like they could outdo me in the eating-the-same-meal game.
They didn’t realize my schizophrenic powers!
Buuut I didn’t realize how badly they were overestimating themselves.
Their limit is THREE MEALS the same.
THREE!!!
Not even in a row! I’m talking 3 dinners the same with other stuff in between!
I’ve had autistic and schiz friends/family members who gladly ate meals over and over again like me, but I assumed regular people could do more than 3 meals, especially when they had other things in between for breakfast or snacks.
If my parents thought they were unusual compared to their friends, then does the average person eat one meal and refuses to repeat it?
It’s food! If it’s something you really like, why wouldn’t you want to eat it again very soon?! And comfort food? How can you not?!
Anyway I discovered my limit when I lived alone, and it was my body giving up before my mind after 9 days of cold noodle/chicken/broccoli casserole with nothing else.
It wasn’t until I puked the second time and was dizzy walking around the house that I figured out my body wanted at least a little variety in food 😂
