[quote=Anonymous]Yes, but I didn't for years until I met a particular coworker.

She was overweight and definitely addicted to food. We traveled together at least 2 weeks out of every month, sometimes more, so we got to know each other very well. Every decision/action revolved around food with her. If it was a new city, she'd research the best restaurants to eat at. She'd make a whole itinerary of where we were eating and when. On one hand, that's super helpful to have someone who already knows which places have good Yelp reviews and whatnot, but on the other hand, sometimes you wanted to be spontaneous. Or weren't feeling that particular food. And we'd be finishing one meal and she was already planning for the next.

It could also be stressful because if things didn't go according to plan and she didn't get to eat or was rushed, she'd get very agitated. Then she'd just fret about when she'd get to eat, how much time she'd have, etc. etc.

We're still friends even though she left the company after about 2 years and I left a year after that. She's still very addicted to food. We just had brunch out a few weeks ago before seeing a show and while eating she was planning on what she'd get to eat and drink there. During intermission she was confirming plans with her sister for dinner and exploring the menu for where they were going. She's a fun person and I love hanging out with her, but I also feel so sad that her life revolves around food. [/quote]
