With me, when at it's worse, it became almost like a special interest...I devoured calorie books and knew nutritional values by heart, and made lists of everything I ate, and lists of the things I would like to eat, and charts of healthy diet meals... it really became an all consuming obsession with numbers.
I even weighed myself after each drink I had and at one time, would not even allow fluids to stay in me.
I was very severely anorexic though.
I'm often much the same. I used to weigh myself after drinking, eating, peeing, etc. I would obsessively bake and collect recipes but not eat any of it. I know the calories in everything I eat and keep a running tally. I wish I hadn't memorized the calories in so many things, it would be nice not to spend all my time counting calories.
