To prove this, I just found the bag of Hershey's Dark Chocolate Nuggets with Almonds that I bought several months ago. With 2/3 of the chocolate still in it, no less. And, I've got half of a column of Girl Scout shortbread cookies from 3 months ago sitting on my desk. I finally threw out the box of Girls Scout caramel delights, after it took me two weeks to eat all but the last three cookies in it (there were only 15 in the entire box). If it had been a bag of cheddar and sour cream chips, they would have been gone in a day or so, depending on my self-control (or lack there-of).

Kindof like Pavlov's dog, eh? Yeah, I hope to be like the rat in the maze who comes upon the tastey tidbit and gets a shock if he goes for it...after a while that tastey tidbit looks pretty grim....

Yep. Negative reinforcement should do the trick, I think.

I dated a guy once who not only would not let his food touch, but he only ate his food clockwise around the plate, starting with his meat.

LOL! Sounds like a bandster!

Oh my god, you guys do that too? I never met anyone before that did that. I always got made fun of by my family because I can't eat my food if it touches. And textures and flavors get to me, too. I can't eat ketchup, mayo, mustard, creamy dressings, or anything like that because of the flavor, smell, and texture.

YES. Remember last week we were talking about this? If I had a salad with tomato on my plate and the dressing happened to Water down and migrate to the...oh, say, mashed potatoes, I wouldn't eat the mashed potatoes. I'd have to wipe off any meat that got sogged by the stuff.

My sister cannot eat milk with her Cereal so she drains the milk off with a spoon and eats the cereal only. My son has it too. He cannot eat textures, no peas, forget broccoli..he'll hack. Crunch is good, semi soft is bad.

And to think we are obese!! Crazy.
