Do you like less foods as an adult than you did when you were a kid, or do you like more?

When I was a kid I would eat just about anything.

I loved bananas, garlic, vanilla flavored things, canned soup, flavored chips, etc.

Now those things taste repulsive.

What about you?

For me there hasn't been much change.I have been eating pretty much everything both as a child and now.

The only change I really remember is pineapple, which I didn't eat as a kid but can eat now, though I'm not keen on it.

My problem around eating is more remembering to eat, and then not to eat too much when I actually do eat...

How do you predict how functional you're going to be? I seem to have a lot of trouble telling how functional I presently am. Honestly, it can even be a bit murky in retrospect. I guess I'm textbook "high functioning" … because I lie about it at every level. First, to myself. Feeling hopeless.

@eo For how functional I'm going to be, it's mostly based on experience for the specific things that may affect it I need to do, and how many other spoon draining things I have in the time (generally days) before.
This is far from perfect, but I'm slowly getting reasonable OK at predicting it after spending a lot of time on it over the last 2 years. I try to overestimate how expensive things are going to be, so when I fail it's in the good direction.

@eo For telling how well I'm currently... I find that to be hard, since I can in the moment feel OK, but then when some challenge comes up I don't have capacity to deal with it... so turned out, I wasn't too well (this happened 15 minutes ago again...). I try to get an idea of how well I am by noticing past (earlier in the day) state and then taking into account things which I have done. E.g. I know I may feel OK after work meeting, but I may feel it a lot an hour later.
