Free food...

What is it about "free" food that makes some so crazy.
So I work at a large company that has meetings, often. Now most of the
group meetings don't include me or my group. There seems to always be
food ordered, not healthy meals either. I guess for more "normal"
indiviuals this doesn't pose any problem, but for some of us that have
an addiction to food, its sometimes hard!
Ok so because all those people who aren't included in the "food"
getting meeting it makes the food (I guess) so much more desireable! I
belive because it's FREE? Or they feel like since they work here to
it's their right or part of the perks, maybe it's a better meal then
they brought. What I'm trying to say is I'm not exactly sure what it
is. It's probably different for everyone.
So the point of this story is because everyone else wants/
desires to have some, for some reason it makes me have to have some!!!!
I know this may sound crazy to some, but I'm perfectly fine and
content with my own food usually! On "food" meeting days though I'm
not my focused self.
Not sure if its my competive nature, it maybe the "hunt" or the oh I'm
getting something you don't have. It's almost like I feel as though I
win if I get some FREE food, food that some of my coworkers really
desired but weren't able to abtain themselves.
What is that??? I'm not hungry or craving it by any means, so what's
my crazy addict food mind & body thinking???
