When I'm at home,I eat everything in sight all day long. But when I'm away from home (staying with grandparents, at a camp, on vacation, etc...), I barely eat anything the whole time I'm there. Anyone else like this?

Yeah, same here. There's probably some psychology to it because I think most people are less likely to accept free food outside of their house. I also barely need to go to the toilet when I'm out, but go normally at home, which is probably just me

Yeah, I'm like that. It's just politeness I guess.

My other eating habit is that if I have multiple things on a plate (say, pie, chips and peas) then if I start eating, I won't touch any of the other two things until what I started is all gone. Veg is usually last.


I'd love to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my bum.

I almost have no appetite in the summer, but I eat like a drunken sailor in the fall and winter. I hate everything about the sun and the heat, so I hibernate

I'm the same way, except the best parts (namely the meat!) is saved until the end

interesting completely unrelated tidbit: When I went to japan, people remarked on our eating habits, which was to eat one thing, then the next. Most people over there eat everything together with rice as a base.

I say mix it in a bowl, it will be mixed up when it comes out the bowel anyways

I eat and crap all day if I am at home working behind my computer. When I was in the army, I could eat like 5 MREs a day and go nearly a week in the field training without taking a dump.
I know TMI, that just happened... Deal with it! lol

Speaking of which.. mmm Tuna Sammiches & Cheesy Poofs, here I come!

i have a real crappy routine. cereal when i wake, either 1 or 2 salami sandwiches for lunch, some odd meal for dinner and then maybe another bowl of cereal before i troll the 'tubez for a few hours before sleep.

Remember those old guys? They made epic renders, I think one of them was called DaVinci, and all they used was MS Paint. Sometimes it's just skill....

That is... so bad for you

Lately I have only been eating lunch and then small dinners or skipping dinner altogether. I think it's the heat, but I can tell my new girlfriend thinks it's weird that I don't eat much lately.

Weird eating habits...

I'm now 16 stone. I think that speaks for itself. I was 17 stone, so at least now the number is going down rather than up. To think, I was thin when I joined this forum. I wonder, did this forum make me fat?

The only weird eating habit I'd say is that I used to be a comfort eater, usually when stressed, so doing A-Levels and going to University didn't do a great job in the eating factor. However, good thing was, in my most stressful year (final year), I managed to avoid comfort eating and lost a little bit of weight in the process.

As for healthy food - I eat healthily for most meals and as for veg, I'm the weirdo who actually likes broccoli on his plate. Salmon with new potatoes and broccoli is amazing. At least I'm still normal in that I hate sprouts. But as a Viking, there always has to be meat on my plate. The day I ordered a salad in Pizza Hut dressed as a Viking, I felt ashamed.
