Woman Ate Only Crisp Sandwiches For 23 Years, Now Thanks To Hypnosis She Has Finally Had A Proper Meal
A 25-year-old woman from Coventry, England had eaten only sandwiches of chips for 23 years, and just had her first proper meal after being hypnotised.
If there is one thing I don't like, it's a fussy eater, and I'm not even a parent yet! Jokes aside, did you know that there is an actual thing known as avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)?
No, we aren't pulling your leg - a 25-year-old woman from Coventry, England had eaten only sandwiches for 23 years, and just had her first proper meal after being hypnotised.
Zeo Sadler ate only Walkers crisps on buttered white bread since she was two years old. She ate two packets of her favourite chips every day as other foods left her feeling physically sick.
According to a report by LADbible, Sadler's parents introduced her to other foods as a toddler. However, she refused to eat anything else.
"Apparently the only thing mum could get down me were crisps which I used to suck until they were soft. I remember being at school when I was little and having crisp sandwiches in my lunch box. They were the only thing I liked to eat," Sadler was quoted as saying by LADbible.
When she was a child, Sadler ate dry cereal for breakfast and a crisp sandwich for lunch and dinner. She occasionally tried other flavours of chips.
During Christmas time, she would eat "Yorkshire pudding but never with gravy."
However, things took turn for the worse when three years ago Sadler was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis - a lifelong condition that affects the brain and nerves. She decided to improve her health.
With her condition, it would be dangerous to survive on only crisp sandwiches. She got in touch with hypnotherapist David Kilmurry, who has previously helped fussy eaters. Sadler underwent a two-hour hypnotherapy session after which she has been able to enjoy her first tastes of fruit and vegetables alongside other foods.
She said, "I can't believe how nice strawberries are and I'm looking forward to trying curry and lots of other different foods."
Kilmurry diagnosed Sadler with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
He explained, "In a very short amount of time with myself and at home, she has been calmly eating new meals and incorporated many new high-grade fruits and vegetables to her 'safe' foods list."
Sadler hopes she can enjoy a proper meal at her wedding next March.
"I really don't just want to be eating crisp sandwiches on my wedding day," she said.
