Does it annoy you having to eat?

Post Reply New Topic

I forget to eat if I'm involved in something that's really holding my attention or I'm trying to get something done...then it's annoying, because even if I'm half starved and I know I HAVE to eat I don't want to "waste" time doing it.

But I do enjoy eating when I can relax...I have alot of favorite foods.

I love food, but yes I do get particular times (dont know why) when I almost resent having to go through the palaver. Most of the time I just browse. It's really easy for me to diet even though I love food.

But this Q reminds me of another about washing and dressing - off I go to start a new thread! Thanks scrulie!

Absolutely. If I'm really hungry, I can stop at a good point in my activities and have a meal. But even then, I try to eat quickly so I can get back to what I was doing. I also don't like how my parents have to yell all the way upstairs that the food is ready--they wouldn't need to if my brother wasn't wearing headphones all the time.

It annoys me a lot and at the same time I'll eat when I'm nervous,
and I eat much more often than I'd like to.
Sometimes I enjoy it like when with others also enjoying it (and that makes me eat too much),
It's a love-hate relationship.

If we didn't eat, what would we do? Photosythesis? Drink a lot of water and lie in the sunlight until our tummy felt full???

I have comfort foods, so I enjoy eating. But mostly alone. Having to eat in the lunchroom at work is a royal pain. I prefer to eat quietly and surf the internet. (And post.)

I find eating to be an obnoxious interruption in my day and a waste of time. Sometimes I enjoy a few foods, but its still annoying to have to prepare them and eat them and clean up. Plus i don't like most foods anyway, so if i'm out, its a chore to find something i can eat.

The meal replacement shakes are ok, but they all have to be the same flavors. If they aren't, I'll just stand at the refrigerator door trying to decide and then shut it in frustration and go hungry. Above all, they have to be already in there. I will starve before I go to the grocery store. I find that place to be completely obnoxious with all the people and smells. Invariably, someone in there feels the need to "help" me, probably because I stand there with a blank look on my face because there are too may decisions to make, and they end up talking to me or touching me. At that point, I just abruptly leave.

It's better for me to be with someone who wants to control all of that. That way, he just puts it in front of me when it's time to eat and makes sure I stop writing to eat it. (We do have some big fights over this when I don't want to stop.) But, on the whole, it is so much less stressful to me to have him decide what I'm going to eat, do whatever he does to make it (he's into that whole food thing) and put it in front of me. That's been the nature of our relationship since he met me in college when he realized I would literally starve if someone didn't take care of it. He basically took over where my roommate (who was in the 8th year of seeking her MRS degree) left off.

I love to eat for pleasure and to satisfy my hunger. I can be a bit of a food junkie at times.

Whats going on with these threads? I understand complaining as much as the next person and will take every opportunity to do so, but showering? Eating? Come on. People are dying in wars, famines, poverty. People are tortured, raped, etc everyday. So far, our biggest complaints today are eating and showering.

Having said that, meal times can interfere with my life but ironically, without "meal times" I die so.. Can't win everything

I love to eat! I don't see how anyone can not like to eat!

I don't care for food, but I enjoy the creative aspects of cooking. If I am not working or exercising to stimulate my appetite, I go too long between eating, then I pass out from my body converting all its energy to digestion.
The only reason I care to go out to eat (like on dates) is for the atmosphere of the restaraunt; I do not often find food appealing, especially since most people center their food around meat. There are foods I like, mainly tropical fruits and cheese, and sometimes ham. When I was on my own, I mainly ate soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, hot dogs & beans, and pot pies, for months. Every so often I would break it up by going to Taco Bell.
If I could only have one food, it would be those breakfast yogurt smoothies. Drinkable yogurt is awesome.

I love this post, I am always telling my dh that I just don't have time to eat and that I wish I could just take a vitamin and not be hungry!

I would like to eat more if food actually tasted decent... to me, everything tastes bland (lack of taste due to a lack of smell). I will eat if I am thinking about it or if someone suggests we go get something to eat together (usually my roommate). If I am working on something, I can forego both meals and sleep easily, usually opting for snacking on carrots or rice cakes or resting my eyes for about five minutes at a time.

Unfortunately, no

If only.

I eat out of boredom and frustation. I've had a lot of that in my life.

Unfortunately it formed some pretty bad habits.

Lately since going back to school for the spring semester, I have not developed an appetite at all. If I didn't remind myself to eat, I wouldn't eat at all.
