i have worked with many men and women who demonstrate a fear of food. the root cause is psychological and often resonates around control issues complicated by anxiety and depression. you're already quite thin yet you want to drop fat and weight. why? think back to when you made that decision. it sounds as though you've had the fear for a while and that you may already be a chronic food restrictor. i'm quite concerned about your desire to shed weight. you absolutely should be working with a therapist who is expert in eating disorders. these experts will help you tease apart your unique situation and develop a strategy to create a healthier relationship with food. go to the web site for the international associaton of eating disorder professionals and find a therapist in your location. you really need to speak with someone as soon as possible. if you can't find anyone see your doctor and let your medical team find someone for you.
