Food issues...

Does anyone else have rituals/rules about food and meal times? I have a few that make lunch at work challenging.

1. I tend to be territorial about my food. If someone I don't know well looks at it, smells it, or comments on how good it looks when they're walking by, I say "thank you" on the outside, but on the inside I want to bare my teeth and growl until they back away. I can't control the urge, or explain why I have it, but I'm very, very defensive. Conversely, if someone said my food smelled bad, I wouldn't care in the slightest.

2. I eat very, very, very slowly because I'm focused on everything around me, or on something else I'm doing at the moment. Finishing a meal in half an hour is really hard and I feel like I gulped it down.

3. When I'm at home, I frequently forget to eat until I can barely function and feel sick.

4. I despise cooking. I hate all of it, the chopping, the cooking of things, the mixing, the mess, everything about it.

I guess in short, if I could just photosynthesize instead, I would jump at the chance. Ugh. I really detest a lot of things about having to eat at all, but it's fuel, so I have to have it.

Anyone else have similar issues?

none of it, I'm not very good at cooking and I'm not really into it, but it's not like I despise it, other then that, I eat too fast.

I'm territorial about my food too. I think a lot of people are, it's primal.
