Does anyone else have obsessions when they are eating foods? Like when I am eating something that has different colors I eat them color by color. Like skittles or something. Does anyone else do anything weird when eating? Have any habits that they do or anything. Alot of people think its so weird that I do that and Id love to hear what other people do if they do, so I wont feel so alone on this or something. Anyone else?!

I also like to eat them in even numbers..I dunno..

Yeah, I do that! But, it's not obsessional- just compulsive. Like, I don't have an obsession that someone will die if I don't do it, or anything. However, if you want a prime example of compulsive eating, you can use me: I literally took the same lunch every single day from kindergarten to 12th grade (with very few changes- tuna sandwich, pickle, and juice box were always the same), and I ate it in the exact same order. Ooh, was I mad if we were out of something and my order got messed up!

yep, yep, yep...not only with what I eat, but the way it is arranged on the plate....

I have to have the piece of fish or meat on the right hand side of the plate, if it isn't I turn the plate before I start. I also can't leave any piece smaller than a grain of rice on my plate. I feel sorry for the poor little things if I do : /

I can relate ..... I have to eat in certain orders depending on what I am eating. And I have to make sure to have "good" amounts and eat a "good" number of mouthfulls etc.
