Is anyone else obsessed with food?

It’s just dawned on me that I am obsessed with food. I do have problems with restricting/binging but I think that stems from my obsession.
Anyway, I’m not talking about my terrible diet here :stuck_out_tongue: .

Even when I go out with friends/family, I spend the whole time thinking about food, when and what I’m going to eat.
Some days, like today, I make imaginary food shopping lists.
For example, today I want to buy a bag of bakery cookies and a falafel wrap. I don’t need to buy those things though because I already have lots of food in my house, so the list stays imaginary.
I keep a food diary on Instagram and follow lots of food related accounts & just spend a lot of time looking on there.
I watch videos of people doing “cheat days” and 10,000 calorie challenges on YouTube.

Can anyone relate to this? :joy:

Lol I love food. I think about what I’ll have next meal and that’s just about it.

Something that is helping me is Overeaters Anonymous. It’s a 12 step program based off of AA. You’re not alone. I think about what I’m going to eat next while still eating currently. See if they have meetings in your area. Good luck!! :sunny:

Yeah for some reason I can’t stop eating. When I get the “hunger” I just need my fix lol

I think about it a lot but when I go shopping I only buy what I need to get by and very little in the way of treats

I’ve kind of lost my appetite with this illness/medication but yes sort of. I eat out and get delivery a lot. Most of my money goes to food. I need to cut back!
