I am not anymore being picky about my ever boring meals because I can't even enjoy delicious foods anyways
There are some factors on why I can't enjoy foods anymore, one of its the fact that my mouth structure and set of teeth are different now. It is hard for me to eat because my teeth for one thing would not allow me to chew my food better. That is why when I am given a corn on a cob I will refuse it because I am effectively no more front teeth to chew the corn kernels off its cob. It happened a few days ago when my mother had offered me some boiled white corn, I refused to have it because I do not enjoy eating boiled corn out from a bowl.
When most of my teeth in the front of my jaw and incisor teeth and the teeth near them went to part from one another as my facial bone structure got enlarged due to the Leontiasis condition that I have which was caused by a secondary hyperparathyroidism which in turn was caused by chronic elevation of Phosphorus in my system, the sides of those parted teeth rotted. So I had them taken-off by my dentist one by one totaling six and I still have some teeth which needs to be removed.
Sometimes it hurts to chew food because some of my teeth would strike parts of my gum. My jaw itself now is not aligned which is why I would hear a cracking sound whenever I would chew and all of these things would also cause me to bite the sides of my inner mouth opposite of the cheeks as so it would hurt and will spoil my eating if when it happens.
Also, the taste of the food is different for me now, it is no longer tasting good compared to how a normal person would taste their meals. So I would always get satiated fast and can no longer eat more with these two factors alone. Also, if the food would be chewy, then I will refuse to have it for a meal. It is the reason why I am choosing soft foods compared to meat dishes particularly the easy to eat ones like whole boiled eggs, fried scrambled eggs, and fish dishes while I will also eat vegetable dishes but only in small quantities because I am already having Moringa powder capsules as my main source of fiber and vegetables.
If I am served with delicious dishes, I can't enjoy them compared to a normal person would. It is because my blood is always soaked with toxins and it causes me to suffer from either mild to severe nausea which causes my appetite to get lower. I just thank God that I am not that anorectic anymore because I previously learned that my blood is acidic which I took action and solved it by eliminating the root cause. However, my appetite remains to be bad and it causes me to eat less than my body needs especially protein and calories.
But I also have a dilemma about consuming protein because if I would consume much or the right amounts, I will still be not benefiting because I am not moving my body much or exercising my body to use the said protein or the amino acid from it, so it will be useless. Also, consuming even the right amount of protein in my case will raise the level of toxins in my body like urea and nitrogen and that would cause nausea where even a mild toxicity from it causes me to lose my appetite. So I am just eating to survive most of the time and it makes my quality of life poor in that regard.
Well, the cost of foods nowadays will also make me lose appetite as well because it seems that it is not worth it to purchase any food items from all of the markets nowadays because of inflation particularly when there is a fuel price hike, the cost of everything will follow for certain. This is one factor that I am enduring for sometime now and it restricts my freedom to have a variance in my diet because I can't buy the foods that I wanted, they are too expensive now.
Now I am already practicing what my mother had told us with my siblings when we were young which is "eat whatever is served on the table" because not all people can have the privilege of having what we have no matter what food is served. So I would always be happy what my mother would prepare because I also cherish the moments that my mother is still around and is taking care of me until now.

I am very fortunate into having a very good, selfless, understanding and loving mother. But at least I had given her a token of appreciation which is this new house which we are staying now. It is her wish and I thank God that I was able to make her dream a reality, after all we really needed a new house because the former house was built in 1983.
I hope that God will give me quality of life although positive changes had happened already but still, I am always feeling abnormal and I still endure hardships because the bone complications alone is already too hard to manage.
Now I trust God on how he will direct my life because I already had received so much goodness from him that it looks very unusual which is why I believe that I am blessed in that regard and is one reason that maybe my future will not be that bad but I still of course have to pray.
May God bless you always.🤟
