ARFID is so much more than not wanting to eat. It is a serious eating disorder driven by fear, sensory differences, and anxiety, not by body image or a desire to lose weight. Recovery isn’t measured by finishing a plate of food; it’s measured in courage, patience, and the countless small victories that often go unnoticed.
