Think about food all the time? I know I need to lose weight & I know for that to happen I have to count the calories but as a result I'm constantly thinking about when I can eat next, what I can have etc.

I am obsessed by food lol

    I'm obsessed with food too. Then again I'm pretty sure I have EDNOS so there's that.

    Yes. I'm a nutrition science major so I live and breathe food! It's involved in my homework, my internships, my grad school apps, and most importantly, in keeping me alive!

    For me it's more *kitten* what do I eat if I'm going to town... Will I be able to count the calories ... Will I over eat ... am I actually REALLY hungry ... grr bacon in the morning again please please don't eat it ...etc
    I'd like to say I'm not obsessing but I secretly am ... Need to relax it a little but not sure how yet

    I was like that when I was on an overly restricted calorie limit. Could your limit be too low?

    Actually, I probably still am like that compared to most people, but I genuinely enjoy talking and thinking about food and fitness and nutrition, but raising my calories has lifted the obsession from an oppressive to an enjoyable degree.
