I've lost control

[DesertMoon]

I have a problem with popcorn, I can only eat them one at a time and I pick them up with my thumb and index finger, French fries and chips too. It puts me on edge when people eat out of my bowl or bag of popcorn with their hand, fisting the popcorn in their mouths...and when they shove their hand in so hard it moves the bowl. It's upsets me quite a bit, and I may even scold and shame them. 

There was a bowl of popcorn on my counter and I...well I picked it up with my whole hand and shovelled it into my mouth....what has happened to me, I used to eat so Klassy-like. I rather enjoyed it too

what food are you picky about? Or am I the only weirdo?

Fajitas are the funniest thing to watch me eat. Everything has to be done precisely, the plate must be wiped of any drippings between each one, and apparently even watching me eat one is terribly amusing.

Video, video, video!!

Never.

Lol, I'm weird about touching food in general. I'd rather eat all food with a fork.

I eat pizza backwards...

I'm the exact same way with popcorn and chips. If DH sticks his hand in the bowl and takes a handful I get pissed!!

I eat M&Ms in order from greatest to least, by color. So if there are 6 reds and 3 blues, the reds get eaten first. If there's a tie, whichever comes first alphabetically gets eaten first. Skittles are the same.

I like to eat the tastiest bite last. So with a cinnamon roll I would save the center part for very last. Sometimes I'll turn something upside down so the tastiest part touches my tongue and not whatever is holding the tasty bit.

I do this too!! I hate it when I saved the best for last and by the time I get to it I'm too full!!

I do this with colored candy too. I have a number issue.

Eta: I even them out by color and number than delete from there. I do it based on rainbow not alphabetical. I'm sure I have hundreds of other food issues but I am in denial.

Not just backwards. If I am alone it goes like this:

1. Crust first
2. Peel off the cheese/toppings
3. Eat the bread of the pizza and dip it in blue cheese
4. Eat the cheese last

When I am with people I eat it normal but it really bothers me. I want to eat it MY WAY but I know how weird it is.

I am more disturbed that you eat blue cheese than the way you eat pizza....

I can't eat them right now but I eat peanut M&Ms from my least to most favorite color. I do it partly so I won't eat so many in one setting. The giant Costco bag of peanut M&Ms has been known to disappear in 2-3 days in my house, even if DH only eats a few. So now I only let myself eat the brown ones for a few days. Then the orange ones, then the red, yellow, blue, and finally the green (green is my favorite color).
