I have three small eating problems.  I wouldn't call them disorders because an eating disorder is an actual thing.  My eating problems are more like actions results from stupidity. 

My first problem is that I really enjoy eating things that taste good.  So whether I'm hungry or not, whether I'm just eaten an overly filling meal or not, whether I might die if I eat another bite, I'll continue eating because it tastes good.  This isn't a problem with foreign food or vegetables, because let's face it, these foods just don't taste good.  (I only eat foreign food to appease foreign people.  And while I like some vegetables, I eat them more for the health benefits and less for their amazingly good taste.)  But if I'm given the choice of eating a comfortable amount of food and an intestine-bursting amount of great-tasting food, I'll go with the latter.  I'm often compared to a dog or a goldfish, both of which will eat until they either puke or die, or both. 

My second problem is that I'm a social eater.  For whatever reason, whenever I'm with a group of people, I tend to habitually shove food in my face whether I'm hungry or not.  I think it's sort of like a defense mechanism or a nervous twitch.  Instead of talking to people, I keep filling my mouth with food to give the appearance of activity or busy-ness.  It's the same with drinking, which is why it's good I don't drink much anymore.  I find myself consuming way more than I normally would simply because I'm not paying attention to what's going in my mouth. 

My third problem is that I eat whatever is in front of me.  If there's a bag of chips, I'll eat that bag of chips.  If there's a bowl of M&Ms, I'll eat that bowl of M&Ms.  If there's a seemingly innocent tuna noodle casserole deviously laced with jalapeno peppers, I'll eat that casserole.  But the interesting thing about this problem is that it can be harnessed for good.  Whether there are M&Ms or carrots in front of me, I'll eat them.  So it's easy to trick me into eating healthy by putting healthy food in front of me. #food
