I live to eat, primarily stuffing my fat face with junk. Why? Until very recently, food didn’t fight back. Food, like alcoholic beverages, is a crutch and a coping mechanism, especially when bullied by classmates and family.

Survival. If I kept cookies in the house, I'd be fat, so I don't. I also choose a vegan diet, because it allows more others to survive.

This describes me well. diagnosed with Aspergers 2 years ago I have always had food issues but most of all it is because I don't eat for enjoyment, I just eat to survive and nothing more. No one else seems to understand this but post diagnosis this suddenly made sense.

over the last year I have taken up weightlifting and so need a high level of protein. I am having a protein shake each day and I eat a large packet of chicken for lunch so not there is a purpose for eating, but I don't enjoy it.

I wish no one had to eat. Just seems a waste of time. eating is weird when you think about it.

as long as it doesn't have hot peppers or olives or cukes or pimentos or caraways seeds in it, i'll eat it. junque food is my fave but I strictly limit it for special occasions. mostly it is brown rice and beans for me, leavened with tuna and a bit of marinara and cheese.

I hate food. I hate everything about it . The idea of it, the prep, the way it feels, tastes, smells etc. I can't stand food and almost died from not eating it.
