Is food a pleasure or a necessity for you?

I always considered food as a necessity. Maybe this is why I am thin. Many people live to eat. They don't eat to live. I hope you understand the meaning of these words. I know such people. I was always very picky and I think food is a necessity. But it can be a pleasure for many people. If I am anxious I lose my appetite. Other people eat more when they are stressed. It's different for everyone. Is food a pleasure or a necessity for you?

@dya80dya Sometimes I want a snack when I'm sitting here, but that's rare.

For me too. Many people eat when they are not hungry.

@dya80dya I think everyone likes that stuff but we should not do it every day.

@Cristi_Ichim I eat junk food once per month or once at every 2 months. And I don't eat many sweets. I just taste them. But I do need a dessert every day. It can be something sweet or some fruits.

For me food is not a pleasure. I am more and more underweight.

When you are sad do you have appetite?

For me it's also a necessity. Sometimes I have to force myself to eat.

Both but more of a necessity than pleasure. I only enjoy the pleasure because of my freakish appetite. This big boy has a big appetite because I work like a horse so I basically eat like one. A running joke has been that one point I must have eaten a horse or two with my appetite or how expensive it is to feed me. Yes it is expensive. I am a small family. I admit, I enjoy food and that I eat about as much as a family of four at once, or the ability to empty my refrigerator every week. Again, this is only due to this big boy working like a horse.

i don't have a big appetite like my siblings and when i was younger, i don't eat if i'm upset or tired. but now that i'm much older, things have changed. i would crave certain foods when i'm stressed.

Food is a necessity for me. Do I get pleasure out of eating too much food? Never. Am I thin? Yes. Do I enjoy a good meal? When I'm anxious, my appetite is gone.

@dya80dya I have to eat, because I'm a diabetic. If I don't eat five times a day, my glucose level drops too low.

@kobesbuddy I understand. Sometimes I wonder if I have diabetes. I have to eat very often because my glucose level drops. I start to tremble. But I don't have a normal weight. I am very underweight.

@dya80dya You are lucky you are thin. For most of my life I learned to food when was sad or very low and finally now I can look at food and not really want it. Now, it is a necessity.

Food is a necessity for me. Food is a basic want for me. I must everyday and I always have full appetite.

We need food every day. It's good that you have appetite.
