I feel exactly like this and want to change, but have no idea how to begin. All sliced/diced tomatoes are gag worthy to me, and entire sandwiches have been ruined if tomato was slipped in there.
Its like the only food aversion I have other than cucumbers. If anyone has any tips to overcome let me know
And for cucumbers maybe eating just the outer part rather than the mushy inside might help (as part of a dish rather than by itself of course). Cutting them into tiny pieces might also help. That said, almost my entire family hate cucumbers, and I haven’t been too successful at convincing them.
You can get used to any food if you just start small. Like lots of people gag if they smell stinky cheeses or durian or even coffee, but once they get used to it by trying small doses they often love it. Just eat a very tiny piece every day. You might not love it afterwards but at least you probably wouldn’t gag anymore.

Idk, it’s fine to not like certain foods. For me, it’s mushrooms. The texture is all wrong and the flavor doesn’t make up for it.
Try cherry tomatoes?
