I have the opposite problem. I don't eat enough. On several occasions, I have gone upto 3 days without eating. Closer friends are often worried about my nutrition. It's gotten so bad, that my last 3 girlfriends have made it a topic in the relationship, while I have friends that let me come over for dinner literally any day I want. They then makes sure I eat enough.

To me, eating can be such a chore. It's like eating is something I have to do just like showering. I can find it rewarding on some occasions, but unlike showering when I feel brand new afterwards, once I eat, I get dumb, slow, bloated, and feel heavy. If I haven't eaten throughout the day, I feel light, energetic, focused, and free.

Anyway, I find it interesting to be on the other end of unhealthy eating continuum. What about eating makes it hard to stop?

Mmm food is delicious. I just ate a whole wheat sourdough pastry from a local bakery -- it was a bialy with caramelized onions. A very perfect summer Saturday snack.
