this grump brought to you by a sullen plate of bell peppers

[sciatrix]

Occasionally I am grateful to have a spouse and roommates who bully me to eat things when I would otherwise refuse. (I stop eating every time I'm stressed and then wonder why my head hurts and I can't think. I also become violently unwilling to eat anything unfamiliar, which includes most frozen ready made meals. Normally I suspect this is annoying but doable, but during major construction in the house it gets pretty hairy.)

Today I am not grateful, but I am eating anyway, and that will have to be enough.

Good spouse and roommates.

Can you think of anything you don't hate enough that you'll eat them to get over the "hate everything" hump? I recommend arrowroot biscuits to people who's anxiety tends towards nausea, because they're a portable food that contains calories and basically never upsets your stomach (unless you're gluten-intolerant). I don't know the equivalent for "won't eat" instead of "can't eat", though.
