Silly eating habits....  |
|
 I have to eat in twos. It is not everything, as there are some things that it is just impossible to eat two of. But, like if I eat a cookie, I cannot eat 1 or 3 or 5, etc., I have to eat 2 or 4 or 6, etc. It is the same way with carrots, grapes, tomatoes, cupcakes, Skittles, M&M's....the list goes on and on and on. Try as I might, I just cannot eat certain food items in an odd number. And no, I cannot take say a cookie and split it in 2 and have 2. In my mind I know it is only one cookie so, it does not work. Even my kids know when they give me something to eat (say an M&M out of their package), they have to give me 2 of them or I will not take it. I have no clue why I have to eat this way and it drives some people I know absolutely crazy. It has been this way for me for years and years. Does anyone else have a silly eating habit that they just cannot break and probably drives people crazy?

 YorkieBear (980) | 2 years ago | So what is OCD? If it has to do with doing things in numbers like I do, then I guess I am. | |
|
|
|
| YorkieBear (980) | 2 years ago | Thanks for that information. It was very informative. I wouldn't say though that it is a obsession with me. It is more of a way of doing something. I say this because I don't obsess over it - meaning, it is not that way with ALL food, just certain foods. But hey, if I have it, then at least there is a name for it. | |

I'm sure I have some habits that would seem odd to others, but can't think of any at this particular moment.
At least you are eating in twos and not tens like Monk!

| YorkieBear (980) | 2 years ago | Two's are enough. One is enough for my waste line. I am sure it is that second one that does the damage. (lol) I could not imagine doing it in tens. | |

3.  terri0824 (3510) | 2 years ago |  My daughter is like this, she can not eat an uneven number of things or have uneven number of different objects. I find it ODD that she doesn't like odd numbers. Glad to know she isn't the only one like that!
| |
| |
|
|
| YorkieBear (980) | 2 years ago | I can't say that I don't like odd numbers because my favorite number is and has always been 5. The even number thing only has to do when I am eating certain foods. | |

| 5. dawnald (9535) | 2 years ago |  Oh no! There's another one out there? Yep, small munchy things I have to eat in twos. I have a dislike of odd numbers for some reason! It doesn't drive my kids crazy, it just amuses them!
| |

|
|
| YorkieBear (980) | 2 years ago | OMG! There are more of us. The first person that commented said I have OCD. I am waiting to hear back to her to see what that is. At least there is a name for it. (lol) It must amuse my kids too, because they are always trying their hardest to sneak behind my back and make sure I have an odd amount of something. They really believe that I will eat that odd one but, I won't!! | |
|
|
| dawnald (9535) | 2 years ago | OCD indeed! It's just a silly little fetish if anything! | |
|
|
| YorkieBear (980) | 2 years ago | I kind of have to agree. I am not obsessed with eating that way because it is not every kind of food, just certain food items. Yeah, a fetish...that sounds more like it. | |

| 6. Grandmaof2 (4356) | 2 years ago |  You're interesting. I have never heard of anyone eating in this fashion. You gave me a chuckle hon.
| |
| |
|
|
|
| YorkieBear (980) | 2 years ago | Glad I gave you a chuckle.
Believe me, if you ate in even numbers, you would know because you would always be counting things to make sure there was an even amount before you started to eat them. | |

| 8. winterose (17621) | 2 years ago |  my aunt has to smell everything before she eats it my son too,
with you is it just food or other things as well, because it might have something to do with obsessive compulsive disorder. Have you ever mentioned it to your doctor?
| |
| |
|
|
| YorkieBear (980) | 2 years ago | Funny you say that. It flashed a memory into my mind. When I was younger, I had to always smell my food before I would eat it. The food went on the fork, then to my nose to smell it and, only after I smelled it, would I eat it. I remember it used to drive my parents crazy. I guess they did enough yelling at me that I finally stopped.
No, I have never talked to my doctor about it because in all honesty it does not bother me at all. It is just something that I do and I leave it at that. | |

| 9. gabs8513 (19353) | 2 years ago |  Lol no I do not think I have anyway
I have never heard this before though that is a bit strange as you must be counting how many you have
I will eat them until I have had enough and that is it
| |
| |
|
|
| YorkieBear (980) | 2 years ago | Usually what I will do, for example, if I open up a bag of skittles, I will take 2 at a time. If there is just one left, then I will not eat it.
With cookies, I never take 1...it is always two. If I go back to get another, I do not just get one, I will get 2 again.
| |
|
|
| YorkieBear (980) | 2 years ago | Oh, I forgot. If I open say like one of those small packages of brownies, if there is an odd amount, I will go and open another one so that I will have an even number. (usually in those packages there are only 3 brownies but two of those packages will equal 6 brownies) | |
|
|
| gabs8513 (19353) | 2 years ago | Lol Yorkie that is really strange I have to say | |
