I noticed I have food OCD

Mysterious_wife

I noticed when I am stressed I eat in order.  I ate for lunch all of my burger then fries.  No fries while eating my burger.  For dinner I ate my baked potato, then steak, then corn, finally my bread.  I never noticed it until last night.  I said something to DH who said he and my family talk about it.  He said it is when I am stressed.  I seriously have issues.

I actually have OCD and I wish it was as simple as eating always eating my bread last.

Great.

Now I want bread.

Interesting.
That makes me wonder if I have any weird quirks when I'm stressed, besides *** at DH.

My DH only eats 1 type of food at a time all the time. He never mixes his food.

I have several OCD type behviors I do all the time and they get way worse when I'm stressed.

dleigh- I NEVER let my food touch.  If it does I refuse to eat.

Yep that sounds about right. DH is the same way. He never realized it until someone told him either. Or maybe he was just in denial.

I can't stand for food to be mixed with the same spoon.  I can have pots of stuff cooking and DH will use the same spoon to stir them.  I won't eat those either.

I do that every time I eat. I never mix one thing with another and generally go veggie then meat. :-)

Does it drive you crazy if other people mix their food?

DH doesn't like it.

It grosses me out  so I don't watch other people eat.

Mysterious_wife

OMG yes!  I can not bring myself to feed allie mixed foods.

i do the same thing even when i'm not stressed...i always eat the various things on my plate separately, and in a particular order...meat, veggies, side...

That's how I eat all the time.  I also don't like if the different kinds of food touch on the plate.
