So obsessed I dream about I know the day I'm gonna die, so the day before I enter a room full of my favorite foods and eat until I die happily ever after.
And it´s no joke! But the idea of weight gain scares me so much I live a life full with restrictions.... Food love is my karma.0 -
I am entirely obsessed with food. I think about it constantly. I am not just obsessed with eating it but think about it, the good, the bad, the ugly. Everything.
I think for some people it goes away with time. For me, I have to actively try to balance my obsession with life. I got to a few points where I was obsessed to the point that I reached out for help as I wasn't balancing it. It overtook my life. My whole relationship with food - and I don't mean overeating. I do still talk to my husband about it so I can try to be normal. But you have to know when your obsession stops being normal and starts being crazy.
A healthy obsession with it is good!0 -
*Is anyone else obsessed with what they eat?
Yes.
*Does anyone else think about food alot?
Yes.
*Does this every go away with time?
No. Well, not if I want to stay at a healthy weight. I've got no sense of how many calories I'm consuming and if I don't log everything every day, I will gain weight in a short period of time.
I see food a lot like I see money. I've got a limited amount of money, therefore I just can't go buying whatever I want. I have to budget and plan my money, not just over the month but on a day to day level.
I've got a finite number of calories to work with every day. Therefore I have to budget my calories to stay in the healthy range. I can go over budget with ease on both accounts. Hence, I must think about food and money on a near constant basis.
I have gotten more efficient about it, though. I don't spend a lot of time meal planning anymore, but when I first started tracking I would spend several hours a day trying to calculate my meals. Now I spend maybe 15-20 minutes per day.0 -
I absolutely obsess about food. I have for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I was very concerned about when/where our next meal would be...not because we were poor or my parents didn't feed me either. It sucks.
I am a numbers person so MFP is helpful - it gives me numbers to obsess about. A challenge to meet each day.
I hope that once I reach my goal, I will relax a little. I will probably always weigh myself daily or every other day. I plan to give myself a 3lb max gain before I become obsessive again for a few days. Hopefully this 'planned' relaxation on my diet will keep me happy and....relaxed lol.0 -
I'll have to keep logging forever. It's the only way I won't put weight back on, assuming obviously that I can stick to it.0

I'm at work wondering what I'm going to eat tomorrow! i'm on MFP logging food that I will be making or at work looking up recipes...I would say YES I'm obsessed lol. I'm also obsessed with food which is what got me overweight to begin with.
My obsession with food now though is a little different and I'm learning to cook. I'm into finding recipes, something new and easy to try.
If I dont, I will definitely be going to taco bell (my usual cheat place) and just eat anything and all cheese items lol.0 -
Was obsessed for the first 3 weeks or so & wanted to cry one day at the work cafe bc I forgot my lunch at home and I freaked about not knowing EXACTLY what I was eating and the nutritional info. Think I ended up eating a half a turkey sandwich and a banana. Those obsessive/anxious feelings have mostly subsided (almost 100 days in now), but I do still avoid some social activities because of food/drink options (I know I can't be happy at a party where I don't really know anyone where alcohol & lots of yummy food will be at my disposal.0

I've always been a label reader and foodie but I've become a little more obsessive. It's been really great for my cooking. I've become more adventurous in the kitchen and with some planning, have learned to see cooking as enjoyable rather than a chore.0

Yes! Yes! I don't know if it ever goes away!0

I'm so obsessed I eat every day, multiple times a day.0

I eat food daily.0

I'm actually finding it harder to eat lately and to actually REACH close to my daily calories now that I'm counting them lol.
I'm also still picking days where I break free of my "healthy food only" regime and eat junk food. I will never stop eating junk food, but will make sure to count calories and portions .0 -
Yup. That's why I gained over 120 pounds lol. I am still obsessed but I think in a more positive way. I will always be a food lover though. I enjoy counting my calories and figuring out what I will eat every day.0

It went away when I stopped vilifying food or food groups, severely restricting calories and gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted in whatever quantity I wanted. I learned to listen to my body and trust it to want to be healthy.0

I need to be obsessed with planning what to eat. It is so easy for me lately to stop and get fast food and eat in the car. If I don't change that habit now, I'll never reach my goal weight!!0

Cute comment being so obsessed with food that you eat several times a day. When I was 20 years old, I forgot to eat or didn't take the time to eat all day. Now that I am 40 years older, I never forget about food.0
