Christ am I autistic? I've been eating the same thing almost every day for like 20 years. I only ever subtract/add to it depending on whether or not I'm trying to lose weight or enjoy life. but it's usually always the same thing. A year or so ago I decided I would add a pizza day, and guess what? same pizza, prepared the same, every time.
Can't go wrong with soup and sandwiches for dinner! steelcut oatmeal for breakfast, or scrambled eggs with frozen pepper/onion mix. I've yet to get sick of any of it. I suspect it may very well be my last meal.
It's perfectly normal human behavior but everyone thinks they're special. I'm not neurodivergent and I've eaten 100 homemade Taco Bell enchiritos over the past 3 months.
I just wonder sometimes, because my father is undiagnosed autistic (he just has too many hallmarks to dismiss), and I sure do act a lot like my dad.
And, yeah, same breakfast and dinner (I always skip lunch) for 20 years doesn't sound that normal to me... i know my ex-wife used to tease me about it.
Guys please take a multivitamin daily if you're not going to eat a variety of foods. Your habits are dangerously unhealthy.
