What should I do if I want to start eating healthy... But whenever I smell a vegetable I can't help but choke? If I eat a vegetable I will vomit, no joke. I once got my ass beaten for vomiting in the kitchen sink twice when I was five after eating vegetables.

You could also try actual therapy because a mental scar, even if you aren't aware of one, can make eating vegetables difficult (I'm just saying this based off the sink thing). Start with a fingernail sized piece of lettuce or a pea if you want. Work your way up from...... reply
i mean there's a solid chance that your palette will just change with time. the younger you are, the more bitter vegetables taste to you, & with the way food is produced nowadays (especially the frozen pre-made meals or the instant stuff), your tastes are geared towards sugary sweet things since sugar is the thing that companies use to preserve & k...... reply
try maybe sweet vegetables? yam, corn, beets, etc. or try different cuisines maybe that will help. looks like you have it hard, getting beaten when you were 5? you should seek help with this situation if it still happens. and if vegetables still make you vomit, my sister goes to therapy because of here limited diet, (she literally only eats french ...... reply
