Has the way you eat changed in weird ways since CC?

The more normal ways my eating has changed: I eat more slowly, enjoy my food more, and don't feel a need to binge or snack constantly.

HOWEVER- I've noticed that I now prefer eating alone, and enjoy my food more if the area I'm eating in is clean and well-lit. I even straighten up my apartment for a minute or two before I eat a meal now. Before, I used to really feel like I had to be doing somewhile while eating (usually reading). Now, I don't want any distractions. If I'm interrupted while eating, I get irritable. I am undecided about whether these changes are good signs that I'm appreciating food now, or whether they're signs that I'm becoming too compulsive about this (I have OCD). What do you guys think?

It takes me much longer to go over the menu now.  I read everything on the menu and weigh my options thoroughly.  It drives my husband nuts, but I can't help it.

I ALWAYS order dressing on the side now, without even thinking about it.

The main difference is that I eat more often.  When I was in my losing stage, I started eating several times a day to keep something in my tummy to keep me from feeling hungry.  Now that I'm maintaining I still eat lots of small meals to keep my blood sugar from dropping too low.  I didn't realize what a grump I was (or how badly I felt) when I was hungry!

I certainly eat MORE! ha ha ha!

I was always indecisive at restaurants...but now it's over different menu items since I glance past the buttery stuff and debate between the healthier items.  Plus now I try to limit the amount of white rice I consume and I definitely eat somewhat slower (especially ice cream!)

I was already a 'clean' dieter but now junk food has as a lot more pressure to be worthy of their calories before I'd even consider a rare splurge.   

Its not just enough to be an enjoyable high cal food to become that uncommon treat - you have to beat out all the others to even be a consideration and know even those at the top of the list usually get turned down.

It's good.  That's what the experts recommend:  turn off the TV; calm, clean environment; don't rush.  My favorite moment is breakfast with the daily text (scripture), cup of coffee, and peace and quiet!  My parents, who I stay with temporarily, and I all give eachother space at that time.

i eat more, and more often.

i used to skip meals all the time.  it wasn't uncommon for me to have nothing but coffee until 3 or 4 in the afternoon.  now i eat almost whatever i want; i get hungry, i eat.  i think about food more, plan more, am more purposeful at the grocery store (i used to shop one meal at a time).

but honestly, i made most of these changes before i found CC.  the recipe analyser has had an impact on me, though.  it turns out that most of the things i make are pretty good for me!  and the ones that aren't, i make less often.

i just have to restrict my potato-chip and chicken-wing intake

Actually, I like to eat alone LESS. I feel like I'm being an obnoxious dieter sitting alone eating my chicken. =/ I like to go to restaurants more in this weird mental way to prove to people that being on a diet doesn't mean you can't have fun. Besides, when I'm alone I think about what I'm eating a lot more than it makes it much more difficult to make a decision on what to eat because I'm counting calories in my head.

I also find myself more anxious to get my fiance to eat what I eat. But I've always been that way - though having pizza around now is 100 times worse. Especially because he says: "I eat too much now that you're not eating it with me. I feel sick now."

UGH. Picky eaters are the worst, haha!
