Obsessed With Food!
I am just obsessed with food. I spend way too much of my day thinking about food. Menu planning, shopping, cravings, what I want to bake, looking at cookbooks, looking at food blogs, anxiously waiting for new threads on the dining in or out (still hate this name) section, ripping out recipes in magazines, planning parties based around food, looking for opportunities to entertain so I can cook or eat food... I mean I feel like it is just insane but I can't help myself. Other food lovers, is this normal? I feel like everything I do, basically revolves around food and food related things. Anyone else feel like this?

Re: Obsessed With Food!
That is me! I am obsessed with making shopping lists, looking at blogs, thinking of recipes, baking, cookbooks, I even took baking classes. I am obsessed too. Right now I am dieting, so I am obsessed with lowfat recipes and food at the moment!

Re: Obsessed With Food!
Me too! When I eat lunch, I think about what I'll have for dinner. I plan vacations around food. It's all catching up to me though-I need to lose 30 pounds!

I like skinnytaste, modifying all of my favorites to make healthier versions, and clean eating magazine. I love clean eating and there are a bunch of good cookbooks on it too.

I also plan vacations around food! I try to exercise to keep up with my eating but now I am pregnant and I haven't exercised once in at least 6 weeks. It is def. going to catch up with me. Being pregnant and obsessed with food is a double whammy.

Re: Obsessed With Food!
Yup me too!
Whenever I think about getting together with friends it MUST involve food.
I think I may be a compulsive overeater as well!

Re: Obsessed With Food!
I find things that I'd like then figure out how to get DS to eat it.
I think we should all get together and discuss this more

How old is he? Here are some tricks I learned (but I'm sure you tried these already):
-What do you want for (snack/dinner/whatever) DS? We can have (choice #1 - obviously something mom likes and wants) OR (choice #2 -also obviously something you like and want, lol)?? He can feel like he is deciding even though, it was kind of already decided for him.
-Whenever you eat it, always say how good it is and how much you like it, and usually, he will want to try it or also start to say he likes it. In fact, depending on how difficult the child gets with eating, I've seen parents play games where if you are at a restaurant and they gave the kid broccoli on the plate (and it may be next to the mac and cheese, and you know they prefer the mac and cheese) you say wow, look how good that broccoli looks, can mommy have some of that? and they try taking it and then the kid gets more possessive and wants it for themselves and it starts them to finish it.
-Have DS make it with you and then brag to DH or whoever else eats with you how DS made the dish or vegetable and how they have to try it because DS made it. It will make him proud and also probably more likely to eat it. So you can say let's play kitchen, or just mom needs help making this do you want to help (put lemon juice on this, press the oven button, mix this with a spoon, whatever). and then "DS made this and it's so delicious DH, you have to try it!" Usually works.

Re: Obsessed With Food!
I am totally obsessed with food.
The worst part about it is that now I'm pregnant and on bed rest so I can't make any of the things I want - PLUS I have gestational diabetes, so I'm really limited in general in terms of what I can eat.
I totally plan everything around food! When someone comes to visit me here in San Diego, all of the things I want to do with them involve food!
I love reading food blogs - I subscribe to probably 150+ of them! I'm always on pinterest finding recipes too... and food network is constantly on the tv!
I knew it was bad when my 2-year old didn't want to watch Blue's clues and asked for "chot" (chopped) instead!

Re: Obsessed With Food!
DH and I realized that all of the pictures on our camera are of food.
When we go to look for something, we are like wait a second, there are never any people in the photos OR they are only of us EATING! It's ridiculous. In 6 months we literally had like 500 pictures of food.

Re: Obsessed With Food!
Seriously! On my mind 24/7 - could be why there's a weight problem...
I won't be hungry - then I open my inbox & see tons of food blogs & pictures.  Suddenly I want to eat everything in site.

I'll join the food obsession club 
I'm constantly searching online, reading blogs, magazines and books for new recipes to try. DH laughs at the number of Word docs I have for meal planning (one for every week for the past who knows how many years).

Re: Obsessed With Food!
I don't know if I would say that I think about it 24/7, but it's definitely more than just a hobby for me - eating well (which doesn't always = eating healthy  ) is definitely a lifestyle for me.
I try to keep a good balance between things though...because if left to my own whims, I would definitely gain weight. I've been there. Weekdays, for the most part, are a routine...on the weekends, when I have more time, I experiment in the kitchen.
Life is just too short to eat crappy food. Food is enjoyable, it crosses cultures, it's something that everyone has strong feelings about.

Re: Obsessed With Food!
Add me to the obsessed list.
I love great food.. especially rich, decadent foods. BUT.. I have channeled my food love into learning to incorporate lighter cooking tips and more healthful ingredients into my daily life.
But seriously - there are few things that make me happier than coming home from the Farmer's market with a bounty of imperfect, gorgeous looking fresh vegetables and turning them into a fabulous meal. And when people enjoy my food it just puts me over the moon!
