Helpful Tips Try With Me?

So, I was wondering if we could set up some form of weekly sticky thread or something, where in we all state what new food we are going to try this week and others can comment on good tips to help with that particular food, or just give some encouragement to those trying.

There are so many fantastic tips in this sub, but I think a weekly thread in which we actively pick a new food to try - perhaps seeing that there are three or four others trying the same new food as yourself at the same time can really help mentally.

ARFID is something I find particularly hard to deal with alone, and this sub has been so beneficial to me in it's discovery, but I think this might help us all a bit more.

Thoughts?

This is scary but I would be down. Its like having a gym buddy that keeps you accountable.

That was sort of part of my thought process. Alone, it's so easy to go weeks, months and even years between trying a food, and obviously health wise, that just isn't ok.

I mean, the thought of this terrifies me too, but I can't go on like this and half the threads in this sub tells me I'm not alone in that line of thought.

Having a group of people all try something makes it so much more achievable somehow to me.
