Any Psych majors here? I am very very messy when I eat. I really need a Bib- or at least a Bibster. For example, when I eat Spaghetti, I get it all over my shirt, and on my face.\n\nIs this a sign/testament to my sexual prowess or habit? I once told this female about my messiness when dining, and she was...umm, ya know...impressed and crap. \n\nI got the impression that maybe being a messy eater had to do with stamina...that perhaps someone who is messy while devouring makes sweet, sweet monkey love for longer periods of time. Is this true?

I'd say no....spaghetti is hard to eat without making a mess.\n\nJust tuck your napkin in your shirt...if you want, I wouldn't though.

Yawning or "pandiculation," is still pretty much a mystery to psychologists. (I just asked a friend in the trade.) Aside from the obvious observations of how it's related to boredom and how it gets "contagious" after a certain period of development in people, there isn't that much information on it. Sorry. (Hey, this is info from an old friend, so you might want to check newer sources.)

i know what you mean-as soon as you tell your friends that you are trying to drop a few pounds they immediately think that you're going to develop some sort of an eating disorder.  if they are shoving food in your face then maybe they aren't really your friends.  a word of caution though, don't diet.  try to eat healthier instead.  also, instead of telling your friends that you are on a diet, tell them that you want to eat healthier-and mean it! stick to a healthy eating plan of 6 small, healthy meals a day or something and only eat junk food once a week or something.  ask your friends to keep you accountable and tell them that you are serious-also, if you can, get your friends to work out with you...if you have others counting on you to show up for a work out then you are less likely to quit.  i wish you all the best and if you want more information e-mail me at aimifadingrunningsoul@hotmail.com

It's funny I ran across this question. This has been an "issue" in our house with my brother. Actually, it's not really an issue. It's fun to talk and laugh about it. ..and he doesn't care. I think he does it in public.. i think it's an instinct for him. He will not stop. And when he does try to eat the proper way for us it looks funny, as if he's almost making fun of us proper-eaters.\n\nI think it would be a good thing for you to at least try to eat the proper way if you are in public or have guests over.

Interesting ... I have never heard of this condition before. Just googled it to learn more. Since it doesn't interfer with your normal day to day activities, just enjoy being different ... yes, one should always accept free food :)

I hate stickly celebs. Heck I don't like anyone who has an unhealthy weight (skinny or fat). If your thin despite a well-balanced diet and exercise, then that's alright. Your Metabo is just fast. If your big and the same thing, then your Metabo is just slow. But if your force food down your mouth or eat fast food all the time or if your anorexic and stuff, you need help! Me and my fiancee' may not look like models (at least our stomachs don't) but we are happy with ourselves and don't fall into the whole thin/thick problems.

The name for wanting to eat or place things in your mouth that have no nutritional value is "Pica". You have an obsessive compulsive disorder. It is my suggestion that you first tell your doctor then seek a therapist. My second suggestion is that you do NOT ever try out any street drugs because obsessive compulsive tend to become addicts. Use caution when using prescribed drugs and/or alcohol. Learn to meditate and learn biorhythm control over your body.\n\nGood luck hon. This sounds like hard work but it will be worth learning this self control.

yes a nice one:\nRead on the true incident of a lady and just keep on laughing !!!! \n\nOne day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love. When it became apparent that we would marry, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up eating beans.   \n\nSome months later, on my birthday, my car broke down on the way home from work.  Since I lived in the countryside I called my husband and told him that I would be late because I had to walk home. On my way, I passed by a small diner and the odour of baked beans was more than I could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the dinner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans. \n\nAll the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas.  Upon my arrival, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly: "Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight."  He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang.  He made me promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to answer the call. The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill. \n\nI took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously.  Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off three more. The stink was worse than oked=20cabbage. Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on like this for another few minutes. \nThe pleasure was indescribable. When eventually the telephone farewells signalled the end of my freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself. My face must have been the picture of innocence when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. \n\nHe asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured him I had not. At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table chorused: "Happy Birthday!"  I nearly died!

Dear, I've been bulimic, and believe me, you don't want to go there.  What a horrible nightmare it is!!!  It's not just about the few minutes it takes to vomit after you eat or taking mega-doses of laxatives -- it takes over your entire life!  You don't think it will, but it will.  I thought the same thing at first.  I needed to lose weight and I LOVE food, so dieting was really hard.  I figured that the bulimic behaviors would make losing weight easy and I'd be happy.  Nothing could be further from the truth!  There's absolutely NO happiness once you start down that road -- no matter how much weight you lose.  After a while, your intestines lose their ability to work on their own so you then NEED to forcefully purge, not just for weight loss purposes but to rid your body of the food that it's no longer able to digest.  It then becomes really uncomfortable (painful, actually) to keep food in your system and before you know it, you can't go out with friends or take part in any activities because just in case there's not a bathroom close by, you'll be really suffering.  That's what I mean when I say it takes over your entire life (every minute of every day has to be planned around the disease).  That's not to mention the fact that the acids from vomit will eat up your esophagus so that it eventually becomes really hard to eat.  And those same acids will disintegrate your tooth enamel.  Even one more thing to mention -- when you don't allow your body to get the nutrition it needs, all of your organs are affected.  You could even have heart failure (I know a girl who died from this).  When I started down that road, I had planned to do it only until I got to my goal weight -- but by the time I reached the goal, the disease had me in its grips and wouldn't let go.  When I think about how much harm I did to myself and how much money that habit cost me (doctor bills, dental bills and psychologist bills), it makes me sick.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't do it!  It took me 10 years to stop the bulimic behaviors, but I'm still suffering some of the health effects long afterwards.  I can tell you now that I would much rather be overweight and sane than be bulimic.  I hope that I've given you some things to think about.

You mean "Eat Right for Your Blood Type"?  It has some good information, but I don't think it applies to everyone.  I agreed with some of it, I disagreed with some of it.  Personally, I think you should just enjoy what you eat and do it in moderation :)

Im addicted to both. I dont know if it makes me any different from other people who are also addicted to something else. I know what you're saying. I also look at some three hundred and something pound people eating junk food. That's because they're addicted to it. Its wierd how people can pile up all that filth inside them.

Why the mentioning of the "fat" so what if you are fat. That shouldn't be the reason why you feel he pays attention to you? I think fat is georgoeus and find yourself some1 who aint hitched already. It just goes to show that you want to boost your moral, and besides, forbidden fruit is always the best.

if you have to ask you are probably doing it. it has to do with the subtle control or the appearance of an attempt to control or at least influence us in an indirect way, and it is this indirectness that is so annoying.\n\nfor example, if i forget or neglect to clean up after my GF fixes dinner, and she kids me about it "saying you lazy sack get off the computer", the message is cool and i'll say "oh yeah i'll do them as soon as i can". (i usually mean before midnight!) but she could ask again in an hour. if she says "are you gunna do the dishes?..."  then my response is "did i fkking stutter before?". however, if she tickles me and says "you addict, get yer butt up and do them dishes boy" then i will likely laugh and go do the dishes, thinking nothing bad about her whatsoever. the latter happens 98% of the time, and the other 2% i write off cos it is usually due to her being in a bad mood; besides, she usually is spot on despite her poor delivery.\n\nnagging is completely unnecessary and i believe it is a manifestation of a someone having nothing more important to do in her life but control the person near her. if nagging is some kind of "issue" that you have to work on and you find yourself constantly checking to see how you are doing with the "issue" then you seriously need to find something of substance or value to focus on. go write a book or volunteer or something!

I get situational ED with my wife.  It sucks, I'll tell ya and I bet you can agree.  I read a thing the other day on web md (because I am scared of ED too) that said that sleep and stress has to do with it.  Maybe your just more comfortable around your lover now, and it keeps your stress levels low, and your other lovers caused you more stress.  I think that if its not a physical problem with you, it is obviously a mental thing, so you would probably fit into this area of stress and sleep.

No ur not mental. I'm a germafobic. Every time I touch my ears or nose I'm in the kitchen washing my hands. I'm afraid to touch dirty dishes and cant stand when other people are sloppy eaters. Why didnt you want to drink the one with the plastic film on it? Is it because u were afraid u were gunna choke? Its ok, its possible if the film is too large and comes off in your mouth. (I prob. would've done it too lol =) ) dont be sad, think about it..... Its pretty funny right? If you get a good laugh about it no dobut you will feel ship-shape.\n\n                                           -Laurenloo
