Eating systems...

83% Normal

When I have a meal that has say meat, potato and veg separately - I always have to eat all the veg first. And if peas are on the plate it's always the peas that I eat before all the rest of the other veg before eating the rest of the meal.

I never really noticed I did this until my boyfriend pointed this out, but once he had and I thought about it I came up with the theory that it's coz my mum used to not give me any desert unless I ate everything on ym plate, so I always go for the stuff I like least first... Anyway, my boyfriend now seems to be a bit obsessed with my eating system, so he's got me to put it on here to find out if other people think it's odd to or if it's just him!

SO - is it normal to eat all the veg and peas first?

    Sounds slightly OCD but if your mom got you in the habit I think it might just be learned behaviour. I do that type of stuff with my food too.

    This is quite normal. I actually know quite a few people that do this. Some of them only put one item on their plate at one time. There is even a diet plan out there referred to as sequential food eating. You eat foods in a certain order but only one of them at a time.

    I'd say normal! We all have our own little "methods"!! Enjoy your meal!!

    I think everyone has their own system of eating and it's perfectly normal. Your reasons make sense. I take one bite from each group of things so that I finish them around the same time, and I hate to leave leftovers on my plate because my mom always told me about the starving people in China. Look what our moms have done to us!

    Meat is my favourite in a big cooked meal to be honest so I always eat the vegetables etc. first. Unlike my parents and any other adults I know really, I don't mix my food but rather eat the items on the plate one at a time according to their... species.
