Breakfast has to be before 8, lunch has to be between 12 and 1 (any earlier and I'll probably get too hungry before dinner, too late and I won't be hungry enough for dinner and I'll start getting too hungry midday), dinner has to be between 6 and 7, and dessert should be between 8 and 9. If I know I won't have access to my kitchen or a restaurant at one of these times, I'll pack my own meal. I get extremely angry if someone wants to go to dinner at, say, 7:00 (usually the anger is internal--it's not like I yell at my friends). Also, I spend a LOT of time planning my meals. Breakfast and lunch need to be healthy and light (usually not from a restaurant); dinner is more flexible as far as content. I don't snack at all (except for dessert).
I also *have* to exercise every morning.
Most people don't mind if they miss a meal or if they eat a big lunch and aren't as hungry for dinner. I just want to know if anyone else out there shares my obsession and what "normal" people think of it.

Yep. I think you're a bit goofy. Nothing terrible, but nevertheless, goofy.

Some people are natural planners, and like everything to go according to a set routine. Sometimes something comes up that throws off their whole day. This doesn't make one mentally ill.
Though, if missing a scheduled activity by even a few minutes to an hour (like a meal) makes you feel angry or gives you anxiety, perhaps you might be suffering from a touch of OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).

You may have obsessive compulsive disorder, or even be forming anorexia. Maybe you should ask this in mental health or psychology.
It makes sense, but it seems like you spend too much time thinking about it. Maybe get some hobbies and thibk about something else, because it's not that hard to eat at certain times.

I used to be like that. It sounds VERY rigid. My obsessiveness was in conjunction with an eating disorder. Life really doesn't need to be that complicated. Do yourself a favor and get some help. When I let go of those types of issues, I felt like I'd been let out of prison. Best wishes. :)

I used to be like that. It is a little neurotic, but I wouldn't worry about it. If you're okay with this lifestyle than it's fine. If not, I suggest you talk to a dietitian or nutritionist. Maybe talk to one anyways. You might learn a few things.

keeping a high degree of structure in the diet and exercise program is actually optimal. those that lack a certain amount of structure in the diet/exercise routine usually don't meet very many goals. being consistent will get you further in many things in life not just in fitness

I would say so. Life has enough stress. Why manufacture it?
