I also like to work so much that i forget to eat. Some days i wish i didnt have to eat, because when i dont get into an eating routine, i dont know when to stop. It took me years to even learn to eat properly. I still cant quite get it right... the funny thing is... <br /> <br />I am a cook by trade and absolutely love to cook. I get excited when i get a new piece of kitchen equipment. Its a rush for me to get to bake all day! <br /> <br /> but the eating part is sometimes distressing. If i portion out my own food, i know where to stop and i have the discipline to be able to do so. I dont always get that opportunity. Oh, and believe me I will agonize about it too. If i pick out apples, it takes me ten minutes to find the right one. I get so nervous about picking the right food and portions, that i can spend an eternity reading labels and comparison shopping for one can of spaghetti sauce. And yes, calories are taken into consideration too. One might easily say I am obsessed. Lord knows i've had my share of eating disorders.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Mikomi</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2008 5:33 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Yes.

Do you think this is true? For me I went through a period where I became very obsessed with losing weight and did so very quickly, before realising that I was too thin and slowly putting some on again. For years after this though I was obsessed with food - counting calories every day (during the week I would 'save' calories, then rigidly eat extra at the weekends and look forward to the weekends just because of this), really getting into cooking and food preparation (I would plan each meal over a week in advance, down to all the calories, at least 5 portions of fruit or veg, balanced interms of carbs/proteins etc) and being totally inflexible about food events that I hadnt factored into my meal plans (like someone suggesting going out for a meal with less than a week's notice). I was also obsessed with exercising a certain amount each week (walking a certain distance each day, swimming twice a week). It sounds rigid and unpleasant, but I loved looking through all my recipes and deciding what to cook, and the high point of my month was the new food magazine I subscribed to arriving. The obsession ended once I started living on my own, but in times of stress I still count calories as something relaxing and controllable. Anyone else like this?</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
