一生只能吃奶酪三明治的女人

A diet some could only dream of has turned into a cheesy nightmare for one British woman.

对于一位英国女性来说，一些节食的人梦寐以求的美食，已经变成了一场俗气的噩梦。

Her whole life, April Griffiths, 29, has eaten only cheese sandwiches — and on the rare occasion, potato chips — for breakfast, lunch and dinner, due to a severe anxiety condition that propels her into a panic attack every time she attempts to munch something new.

29岁的阿普里尔·格里菲斯(April Griffiths)一生的早餐、午餐和晚餐中，只吃过奶酪三明治，偶尔吃薯条，因为她患有严重的焦虑症，每次尝试咀嚼新东西时都会引发恐慌。

“The fear of choking and experiencing a different texture of food scares me,” the bubbly mother of two children tells Caters News Agency. “And even though I have tried to eat pea-size portions of rice, pasta or vegetables, I have never been able to swallow it without throwing up.”

“害怕窒息和体验不同质地的食物，让我感到害怕，”这位有两个孩子的母亲告诉caters新闻社。“尽管我试过吃豌豆大小的米饭、意大利面或蔬菜，但没有一次不吐的。”

So it’s purely grated cheese on bread, she says — preferably Mature Cheddar or Red Leicester. Griffiths can sometimes stomach basic sliced cheese or sour cream and onion Pringles on special occasions.

因此，她说，只有纯磨碎的奶酪面包，最好是成熟的切达干酪或莱斯特红奶酪。格里菲思有时会在特殊场合吃一些基本的切片奶酪、酸奶油和洋葱品客薯片。

“I would love to eat a roast dinner, but I couldn’t face it — the vegetables, potatoes and meat all touching makes me feel sick,” she says.

她说：“我很想吃一顿烤肉晚餐，但我无法面对——蔬菜、土豆和肉类都让我感到恶心。”

The phobia began when she was a baby, she says. Her parents tried to transition her from milk to solid food but she would become extremely anxious or vomit immediately. They took her to the doctor, who said at the time there wasn’t anything medically wrong with her.

她说，这种恐惧症开始于她还是个小孩子的时候。她的父母试图把她从牛奶变成固体食物，但她很快就会变得极度焦虑或呕吐。他们带她去看医生，医生当时说她没有任何医学上的问题。

For the record, she says doctors tell her she’s otherwise healthy.

据记录，医生告诉她她在其他方面很健康。
