Eat because you like it, or for survival.

Post Reply New Topic

I like to eat, and find it relaxing.
But drinking anything is another story. I don't get thirsty, so it is just a pain that I have to remember to do in order to live. I've gotten badly dehydrated before, and was constipated as a child because of it.

I'm in the food is like sex category.
I always buy good quality food - junk food and frozen pizzas are crap, IMO, and I don't know why anyone would want to put them in their mouths.
I'm sure a lot of people eat without actually tasting.

I had issues with bulimia. I am ok with food now. Hopefully I don’t jinx myself. I have issues with certain textures and I don’t overdo anything.

For me it’s eat to survive kinda thing now.

For me it is definitely for survival. If I could take a pill and survive I would certainly do it. I always strongly disliked the feeling of getting to full, I have gastrointestinal issues that feels better if I don't eat or eat very little.

I love cooking and I try to produce something from basic raw ingredients every day although my shift patterns at work mean it isn't always practicable. I would really like to grow some of my own food as my sister does but again work gets in the way of doing that. Instead I go to places where I can shop for quality raw ingredients in a reasonably quiet environment.

I love the look and smell of fresh vegetables and that is what my basket is usually full of. I eat a little bit of meat but only if there is nothing more interesting available and if I am cooking there usually is something more interesting available.

When I am preparing the food I like to take my time, looking carefully at everything, thinking about where it has come from and how it was grown, feeling it, smelling it, tasting it. I find the whole process of producing a meal from raw ingredients to be very therapeutic. I definitely eat because I enjoy the whole process and by producing the food myself I get to eat exactly what I want.

Personally, I see eating as a chore unless the meal has been prepared by a professional. I love takeaways and eating in restaurants, but otherwise see eating as a depressing necessity.

For me, food is more practical. I do enjoy some foods but not that much.

I generally like eating, but only like a limited range of foods.

But when my depression really gets me down, I eat for survival. I can't even always manage foods that I like when I'm too depressed.

I love to eat and it shows. My friends call me Big Baby Schultz.

I'm somewhere in between. I like eating and have favorite foods. But I also can do without them.

Because I like it

It's a pleasant routine for me, I tend to eat the same 15 or so foods and some random treats. I too have gastrointestinal issues so I have to eat small portions and avoid certain stuff, sometimes it's just trying to get enough calories, not really maximising good flavor.

I love eating.

Yeah....me too!

And I'm feeling it right now, sitting on this desk.....
