Pinterest Enables my Food Addiction


Recently, one of my roommates and I took a walk down memory lane through our pinterest likes. It didn’t take long to notice that my board had significantly more food posts compared to hers. I would comfortably say at least 80% of my board was food. I was only embarrassed for a little bit until I realized that I only like all of the food. My defense? Because it’s photographed like an angel sent it from heaven. No matter what the food on pinterest, it’s always photographed to make it look like it would be the best meal you’d ever eaten in your life. It turns out that the appealing photos were only the start of my addiction. My roommate then began to point out my addiction to food in real life. The worst had happened. My social media food addiction had spread to everyday.  Whenever we decide to go out to eat, I spend the hour before and the time that we are there what on earth I am going to choose to order.  You would think it was a life or death decision. How I justify it? I am a poor college student who only gets to go out to eat once in a blue moon so I have to make sure what I am ordering is what I am going to love. In retrospect, I know that is only an excuse and I am in denial. I have an obsession with food. But at least I have Pinterest and Instagram to tell me I’m not alone.
