This is unrelated to my other dependencies......I mean, those aren't that bad. Not great, but managable. But food is one thing that is really slowing me down (figuratively and literally) in life. I can't just "stop" eating, I mean I literally can't, feeling hungry is absolutely one hundred percent unacceptable for me, if I am hungry, I must eat, period. I won't be able to focus on anything else until I've eaten. And then when I do eat, I feel a sense of relief, almost like being "happy" I guess? Not that I've ever felt happy in my whole life, so I'm not really sure what genuine happiness is supposed to feel like, but maybe this is close. But that brief sense of relief is not substantial, as not being able to eat makes me sad. Are any of you dealing with something similar? I fucking love chocolate candy bars and pizza......

given your solipsistic outlook why would you care?

You’ve clearly been cursed. Probably either by Ramona the goddess of ranch dressing or by some elderly gypsy woman you’ve offended. You’ll need to find a sympathetic Santeria priest to remove the curse. Don’t let him overcharge you - the going rate is two chickens (live) and a bottle of dark rum.

Not that it would do any good......not a bad idea though. I could perform the ritual myself, I guess......that might work, eheheh......

I mean seriously though, if I was offered all the yummy food I wanted for the rest of my life, in exchange for never being able to talk to another actual human being ever again, I would absolutely take the fucking food.

PLEASE don’t try the ritual yourself. You don’t have the training, the link to the Other Side, and you don’t know the secret handshake.

Curse removal, like termite control, is best left to professionals.

Even if I knew I was cursed with a love of food, I'm not yet convinced I would want it removed.

Everyone else in the universe knows what it means, someone explain it to Ahirman.  ;-)

No, that's not what I mean. I mean why would that other poster assume I have a "solipsistic outlook" in the first place and use that as a "reason" for me "not caring"?

A coworker has a bad soda habbit. She really loves her coke.
