One of the more masochistic things that I do is watch the Food Network. For a person who is doing Weight Watchers it seems somewhat counter productive.
I watch "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" and want to go to every joint that Guy goes to and eat all the food just as he does. Even when he's tasting brains or kidneys or the spiciest carnitas, I want to take a bite right along with him.
Then I watch "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" and vicariously enjoy every bite the chefs take. Maybe it is not so terrible if I don't actually eat anything but just watch other people eat it. That's it, I'm a food voyeur. Especially when they are eating my favorites, like chocolate or ice cream or probably just about anything edible. So maybe it's not so masochistic, but is more like therapeutic as long as I don't get up off the couch and head for the kitchen.
