I have an eating disorder

It's true. Actually, it's not really an eating disorder. It doesn't involve puking or bingeing. Let me show you a photo of my dinner plate when I was almost finished eating last night.

Can you see it? I have an even amount of each food left, with space between each food item. It's not an isolated occurence. When camping with the girls and kids, I was talking about it during breakfast. The pattern of eating rotating bites was apparent. I had the perfectly even amount of bacon, eggs, and toast left. I was going to end the meal with the sweet taste of jam and toast. In fact, I asked the girls which they thought I would end with and they pegged it. Yummy...sweet...jam. Suddenly one of the people took my last bite of toast and jam and threw it towards the fire. It landed on the ground. I was upset that my prize was wasted. But maybe it wasn't dirty yet. I ran for the fire, quickly examined it, and chewed the parts that were clean. You know the movie "Big" when Tom Hanks chewed the tiny corn? Just like that. Ah, it was wonderful. Not to mention done on purpose to make a point. I've been known to seize food out of a person's mouth if they stole it off my plate. Don't mess with me and the food. OKAY????!!!!!!!
