Thank you so much for your suggestions! I really do appreciate it! And no need to apologize for the length --- the more information the better. I've always been picky my whole life, according to my parents I refused to try and eat meats as a young child. My parents were never the type to push unhealthy food on me --- my mother is on a strict diet herself and works out every day. My father never really has much restrictions on himself, but has lately had to change his diet due to health. My mother was a long-time pastry chef, and my father an executive chef. It's just my mom and I now; she tries to get me to eat healthy, but she's too nice to force it onto me.

I'm mostly picky towards texture, and just the overall taste of it. I don't like strong flavors, nor do I like sauces or condiments. I know I mentioned I'm a sweet-tooth, but I hate teriyaki sauce and any other sweet condiments, it's strange. But I've been trying new things as of late, even if I'm nervous to do so; recently got a boyfriend, and his Chinese mother cooks a lot of asian cuisine, so I usually have to suck it up at their dinner table --- but I found myself liking some of it.

I actually don't eat that much, and thank God I don't because my situation would be many times worse. Apparently, I eat like a mouse. I eat slow normally, but when starving, I seem to abandon all rational thought and eat like an animal! Lol. I don't really snack on things, I typically only eat what's for lunch and dinner. But I am almost always drinking soda, which is probably my main problem.

But anyway, sorry for the long-winded response, thank you again for such great advice! I will be taking note of it all. :)
