Anyone else find themselves checking this site multiple times a day? I do this, and I don't even work with computers like I used to. I'm a SAHM and will log on here 2 or 3 times a day. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm ill. Maybe thinking about food way too much. But, then again, I do eat the way I should. So, maybe this isn't a bad thing. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else is "closet-ly" obsessing about the discussions on this site!

Anyway... this site has been fabulous for support! Thanks to everyone!

I normally check in at least three times a day - morning, noon and night. I don't post much, (not a big talker), but I read a lot.

Me, too. I'm an SAHM and this is my favorite place to take a break.

I have been addicted way too long. I am supposed to be WORKING during the day - and find myself keep coming back to see what is new here.

I have to stop this. I have a major certification test I am supposed to be studying for - and have decided I will schedule my early morning just for that studying.

I need to stay off during the day, and just allow myself access after work.

What? We're NOT supposed to be addicted to this site?! I had no idea!!

I'm logged on most of the day at work. I work as a receptionist in a 2-doctor practice. When it's not busy, which it's not this time of the year - we theorize due to tax season - it can get BORING in between patients checking in and out, and the phone not ringing! So, I check in here frequently.

Then I just GOTTA check in after I get home from work, and again after dinner. I mean, someone MAY have posted something which requires my attention! LOL!!

Couldn't think of a better place, online at least, to spend this much time...thanks to Andrea, all the moderators, and all the wonderful folks who make this place so INTERESTING!

Me too! This is MUCH more interesting than my WORK!

I don't know if I am thinking about food too much, but it is just an enormous help to me to know there are other people LIKE ME! I don't feel alone anymore. And THAT is, I believe, what has helped me truly make this WOE my WOL!

I love all you fellow LCers! You keep me going - THANK YOU!

I'm an addict too!!!
I check only once a day but then I stay here 2-3 hours and read everything new.
Maybe we should start anorther group: the anonymous LCE addicts.
Hi I'm Gavkins and I'm a LCE addict.
The only thing is I'm not thinking of quitting this addiction.

Good luck

Gavkins

I am SO an addict of this site, but if I wasn't I would have had a problem staying with this WOE. The support is great.

Now on the addicted to food issue, I don't know about that b/c it's getting to the point where I keep thinking....I need to eat to live...not live to eat, so I seem to be getting over my obsession with food lately to the point that even eating the same breakfast every morning doesn't even bother me...I just think ok, it's fuel.

However, that being said...
I had the weirdest dream last night that everywhere I went all I could order was chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes with cream gravy, corn and peas. People just kept piling it on my plate and I kept trying to get away from it. So, my subconscious seems to still be obsessed somewhat.

I'm guilty as charged!!!!!!! big time. My DH said im addicted to this forum. But he enjoys it beacuse he can go play on the pc in bedroom and i dont grumble anymore. Tho he is talking about networking the computers so he can get online too..
bad thing is i have slacked on my chores around the house beacuse i find when i usta get everything done when my toddler would be sleeping i am now on here typeing away.. lol... could be why i get up earlier now so i can get stuff done.. usualy by the time i go to bed i have read most of what has been newly posted.. and can catch up on the few new ones after my oldst gets on the bus..
man we need a fourm anonomus (spelling)

Oh, I'm definitely addicted! I'm logged on the whole 8 hours at work and I check periodically to see what's new. I'm especially fond of the humor from most of us--it's amazing how so many of us find the bright side of our struggles and can laugh at our foibles in this WOL--and the recipe ideas. I don't like to cook, so getting ideas to make simple and delicious meals is such a pleasure.
I've become a whiz at hitting the "minimize" button just in time, LOL!!

When I worked at Tyson Corporate I know they logged the hours you were on, regardless of sites...but they also logged sites. Since I'm not there anymore, I simply delete my history everyday. I keep this site in my favorites so I don't have to retype everything everyday.
