Odd habits or obsessions?
I am sitting here eating my afternoon snack which is trail mix and I realized I am fairly odd about the way I have to go about eating trail mix. When I eat it I eat it ingredient by ingredient in order of my least favorite ingredient to my most favorite. Like today's trail mix I ate all the raisins, then all the sunflower seeds, peanuts, cashews, almonds and finally the chocolate pieces. If I save the chocolate to last it is like dessert. Also if I miss something then I am a little upset. Like if I am on to the cashews and I find a sunflower seed. Not like crazy upset, but more like "darn I missed one". So....am I crazy or do you have any odd habits or tendencies too?
Re: Odd habits or obsessions?
Odd eating habit. If you were obsessed you'd dump it all out line them up neatly in progression of most favorite to least favorite and then eat them that way. This insures that no stray sunflower seeds would mess up your pattern b/c then you'd have to throw away that bag and start all over again LOL.
I eat M&M's in ROYGBIV patterns.
Everything I do is odd.
But you reminded me of a kid I went to grade school with. He used to eat rice krispie treats one krispie at a time. Also, my uncle eats his pizza crust first.. because he doesn't like it.
I'll eat skittles and starburst this way. Starburst- eat the yellow and red first, then the orange and pink. Skittles- eat the purple, yellow and green first, and save the red and orange for last.
I also tend to eat chips smallest to biggest. This is when I dump some on a plate and therefore can see all of them.
My Profile
I have weird eating habits too for sure.
In trail mix I like to eat it all kind of in a rotation so I end up with one of each thing left at the end and then I always eat the chocolate piece last. I totally get your "desert" theory.
Probably my strangest food thing is that I really love to each the chocolate off a 3 muskateers and then eat the inside. I know I look like a super freak doing it though, so I only do it at home.
Things like M&Ms and Skittles get separated and then I eat one of each color in a row, starting with the color with the most pieces.
I eat peanut M&Ms in a weird way. I bite off the chocolate on one side, attempt to get the nut out, then eat the other half of the chocolate. I eat my Oreos the same way.
Well since I just finished a serving of ice cream... I buy Neapolitan ice cream more than any other flavor. I eat it in a small drinking glass - like a short glass. I always make sure the chocolate is at the bottom, then I scoop in vanilla, then strawberry. I have to save the chocolate for last because it's obviously the best. Ha.
I have to shower in a certain order or else I don't feel clean. Weird. Meaning - I wash makeup off first, then use a facial cleanser, then shampoo and condition my hair, then shave if I am shaving that day, then bathe with body wash last.
haha I'm that way with Spagettio's and Meatballs. I have to eat every last Spagetti ring before eating the meatballs and get a little upset if I find one after I've started eating the meatballs.
I have to have all my alarm clocks or volume (if it has a number system) on an odd number even though I hate odd numbers in everything else and have to have things even. It's silly but even H does it now...oh and I prefer 1's and 9's if possible over 3's and 7's...yea crazy right...
here's the worst thing.
When watching tv, listening to a convo, or having one myself I pick out a word (sort of like Brick on The Middle when he whispers a word) but I take my pointer finger and write on the pad of my thumb. Like spell each letter of the word and if I don't "like" how I spelled the word I erase and do over...its sick and I would assume a nervous tick haha but I can go a day or so without doing it. I just read that again and now I'm sure you're all thinking I'm nuts haha
Oh the shower thing yah I have to do the same thing too. First wet hair, shampoo, then while that's in body wash...shave armpits and legs if needed, then rinse, then face wash, then conditioner.haha hey at least I helped someone today.
Kidd Kraddick in the Morning does a thing called "does that make me crazy" and I always want to call in. A few years ago when I told my aunt and uncle about it they looked at me like "wha?" and said yes that definitely makes you crazy haha
don't even get me started on my weird eating habbits.....good thing h has gotten used to them and doesn't think I'm a freak!
Your methodical trail mix eating habbit seems very normal & rational....you know the whole "eat the veggies 1st to get them out of the way" theory.

I can only write in my journal using a certain type of pen. It's been this way since middle school. It's weird...but I just can't write in it using a Bic or a pencil or anything. Once I went to a girls camp and I brought my journal and forgot a pen, so I just didn't write in it the whole week.
I also need lines in my journal - I just finished a bookbinding class and we made flatback books, and I made a really cute one. J suggested I use it as a journal and I was like - no way, there are no lines - I would be worried I might go a little crooked and that would be very very upsetting.
Nope b/c I do the Twix thing too so we must have all taking the same candy bar eating lesson!
