I hate food. Well, ok. It's not food I hate. It's eating. There's so much more I could be doing when I have to take the time to eat. Also, every time I do eat, I can't help but think it's making me fatter than I already am, even though I know that too few calories is just as detrimental as too many. Anybody else experienced this?

I agree - taking time out to get meals in and carry them around to work is a burden. Especially in a busy NYC hospital.
So i just fast 20 hours a day and eat all my calories when I get home. Problem solved!

No. I love food and my entire day revolves around how much of it I get to eat. When I don't eat enough, I am cranky and tired, and my weight loss stalls.

Food is okay, it's important to live
I'd rather it taste good then like crap ... but my life doesn't revolve around it. Well maybe right now since I'm trying to make sure I hit all my macros ...

Some people Eat to Live... I Live to Eat! I am fortunate that I love pretty much any foods, so it makes it easier to eat the good for me stuff. I love trying to create new meals, but have little use for recipes. I just throw things together that sound like they would be good...0

I dont feel this way about food, but I do about showering… I'm no dirt girl, but I find it to be such a waste of valuable sleeping time...0

No. I can't say that I have ever thought that eating food is a waste of time. :huh: :drinker: I have always thought it was a GREAT use of my time. That's why I had to lose so much weight.0 -
LOVE food, especially fatty fast food, but...it has been easier to give it up, eat healthier and exercise more because my wife is committed to doing this as well.0

I work from home so I have no excuses LOL. I ***** about preparing meals from home and yet you guys struggling to get into the habits of preparing them and carrying them. I have nothing to say but for the most part I actually prepare my meals as if I were going to pack em.0

I love food.
Me too. It tastes good, keeps me alive, helps me gain or lose weight depending on my goals, makes me feel nourished, fun to cook. What's not to love?0 -
i love food. and now that i'm eating healthy, nutritious food, i find i love it even more. i'm also able to tell when i'm full these days. i didn't used to be able to do that. My mindset was, to quote Louis C.K. "the meal isn't over when i'm full, the meal is over when i hate myself."
i love the whole experience with a meal. the sight, the smell, the taste. the preparing, the cooking. everything.0 -
I wish there was a pill that I could tak once a day instead of eating. food prep, eating, cleaning- takes up a lot of time.
Yummy things can just be an occassional treat.
I didn't gain wight because I love to eat, but because of some health issues combined with me being to too tired to watch what I ate (grabbing simple easy to get eating done and over with).0 -
Yeah no never felt that way.0

Next time we think about how much time food takes up we could realise how lucky we are we don't have to grow/raise/hunt for everything we eat as well as cook and eat it!
I love food and don't mind it taking up my time usually. I am always happy to spend time eating just not always the cooking or shopping0 -

Funnily enough, I didn't much care for food until I started using MFP. I barely ate, and what I DID eat was crap. Now, I'm having a lot of fun learning to cook healthy stuff that tastes awesome. I actually shudder at the thought of deep-fried chips now, when I used to eat them for lunch every day in college.
Food! Yay!0 -

For me, having to grow/raise/hunt my food would be more fun. Put some excitement and adventure into eating0 -
Tthe thing is I love food, I'm not a picky eater by any means. I just hate taking time to sit down and eat it, except when it's for family dinner or something, then it's a fun and social event. I know I need to eat though, not only to lose weight but to keep my hypoglycemia under control. Bleh.0
