Do you obsess over food?

    I think I obsess less about it now then I used to it, but I know that I have a problem with food. That's what got me in this shape in the first place. I treated food as a friend and comfort and substitute for love--and I have since childhood. I hope that by tracking/planning my calories, losing weight, and getting active again, I can stop that cycle. I've got up and down in my weight a few times so far in my life--I don't want it to be a common thing for me.

    Mind over matter, I suppose. :smokin:

    I do this SOMETIMES...but I have found that if I keep myself busy/occupied with OTHER things, it doesn't happen NEARLY as much. Take today, for example, usually I have my snacks planned for the whole day and cannot WAIT to eat them...today I forgot to eat half of them because I was busy, and it's dinner time and I'm barely hungry...lol

    Of COURSE I obsess over food! If I didn't, would I be reading these forums?

    Not really. I eat everything I want to, including junk food, in moderation. Since I'm not depriving myself, I'm less likely to obsess over it. I also do IF from time to time, and that has helped tremendously.

    I think about food all the time but that's probably not normal since I have a history of disordered eating. But I will say that dieting and calorie counting was the thing that made me so obsessed with food in the first place.
