Elfriede, Atlanta, GA

I am obsessed with all-natural & organic foods, especially sweets. I keep my refrigerator and cabinets full. And now I worry because my children have become obsessed with food.

Qkas, Chicago, IL

My problem is eating at night before i go to bed. I'm real good all day, but at night, that is when i eat the most. Wish i could break the habit.

Gloria, Inverness, FL

I really don't like eating, I would rather take a complete nutritional supplement. I make myself eat decent meals but find that I want to eat garbage type foods when I have down time. It is awful! I do love chocolate though... :)

Angie, Arlington, WA

My obsession is black olives which have a lot of fat. Once I open them they just go into my stomach. Also, mangos but they are healthy so I'm not worried.

Lesli, Nashville, TN

I love carbs and sweets, especially ice cream. What a shame!

Mahalia, Decatur, GA

If you are obsessed with food - it does NOT have to be that way. Try Overeaters Anonymous.

Mary, Washington, DC

Eating is something I do in between living which includes, reading, walking, working and so on. You can eat anything. Enjoy a variety of veggies, fruits, nuts, chocolate, fish, meat, pasta, grains, desserts! in small portions. Stop eating when you are full.

Helen, Hartford, CT

I am obsessed with free-cookies.

Rachel, Gainesville, FL

Not fair - my results ominously recommend I see a doctor about having an "eating disorder." Being a former fatty, having lost nearly 100 pounds the right way - slowly, with a balanced diet, over a period of two years - of COURSE I think a lot about food and I'm attached to the scale. I choose and prepare food carefully because "normal" food has way too much fat and sugar. Of COURSE I have things off-limits, like Big Macs and some deep-dish, extra cheese pizza! DUH... If this is an eating disorder, then I'm eating-disordered and PROUD OF IT, in my size 6 clothes!

Tracy, Rockford, IL

Mary Jean I share your obsession for the whole concept of food. I think about my next meal while I'm still eating. God I need help!

Carmen Matos, Bronx, NY

I love rich foods and condiments.

Leslie, Medina, OH

I am obsessed with food, I eat dinner, and then eat dessert right after, and then still come back for more food. I have to stop myself in order to stop coming back.

Jessica, Hialeah, FL

I love my sweets and chocolate.
