First off, Ive always been a picky eater and when i was younger my parents would feed me anything just to get some food in my system. Until 10th grade I had a very fast metabolism and still sort of do. Ive had a very good body and remain on the thinner side of a healthy weight fairly naturally.
I have had a problem for most of my life where I am oddly obssessed with food. I can remeber at least as far back as fifth grade having this. My problem is I am obssessed with food. When we would plan to go to the movies on a road trip or the amusment park I always get more excited thinking about that food I am going to eat. From 6th grade to highschool I could eat obsurd amounts of food. I could eat two large bags of popcorn from the movies, all by my 80 pound 5'3 self. I get anxious when we order food if i am going to get enough. I am not obese in the slightest, I just always associate food with everything.
Is there a condition for food obssession?

This sounds to me like a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Or at least OCPD--which is obsessive compulsive personality disorder. Think of OCD without the actual compulsion (hand washing, checking). You obsessing about the ammount, variety and availibility could be this. Consult a psychologist, they may be able to help :)

I'm not sure. Why don't you have yourself evaluated by a psychologist or a psychiatrist?
