To me, food is more than just for survival. It’s what I look forward to every day. The first thought I have when I wake up is, “What am I going to eat?” Hell, I think about breakfast before I even fall asleep! With so many varieties and tastes, it’s hard to decide what to eat. So I just eat it all.

1. I can out eat a boy ANY day.

Whoever said boys eat more than girls has clearly not met me. Whether it's burgers, pizza or wings, you bet I’m the first one with a clear plate. The looks on their faces is priceless when I put down a large meal; it’s one of the few talents that I have. Perhaps it should be "Woman v. Food"?!

2. Waitresses give me weird looks.

When I go out to eat, I mean business. I want to eat, and eat is what I do. When I go out, I get the works. Appetizer, entree and dessert. When I order, I always get looks from the waitresses, like “ You’re going to eat all that?” Yes, yes I am, thank you very much.

3. I spend all my money on food.

No matter how hard I try, I spend so much money on food. My go-to hang out idea is lunch or dinner with my friends. Even if we’re staying in for the night, a trip to Stop ’n Shop is needed for food. The mall isn’t the problem for me. It’s the food court where you will find me.

4. It’s the joke of my family.

When it comes time for any family get together, my family knows to make a ton of food. Even before people take a bite of their first plate, I’m already back up for more. My family knows not to pack up the food after dinner, because they know I’m ALWAYS going to want more.

5. I eat everyone’s leftovers.

It doesn’t matter that I just ate, I am the go-to for leftovers. I take them so often, no one even asks anymore. If someone gets full, they just pass the plate over to me. I sit there and secretly hope people don’t eat their whole meal. Screw just a bite, give me the rest of the plate!

6. Food is my favorite thing to see on social media.

When I log onto Facebook, it’s not the videos of nail art or the latest gossip of celebrities I’m after. Thanks to pages such as Buzzfeed, I have endless recipes I get to see. Dishes I never thought of appear on my timeline, and it makes me so happy. You can keep your cat videos. Show me how to make that buffalo mac ’n cheese. And brownies. And everything else.

From salads, to burgers, to sandwiches, food is my one true love. Not a day goes by that I don’t cherish every delicious bite that I get the pleasure of eating. I might be the center of jokes and weird looks, but all that is worth the satisfaction of being full after a great meal. Or at least for a little bit, until I’m in the kitchen looking for the next thing to eat.
