Maybe not quirky behavior, but when I'm trying to cut out processed foods, I can survive most of the day on hardboiled eggs, fried bacon and bananas. I call it the three-B diet. Drink plenty of water, too.
Just a note. Bacon is a highly processed food. Just curious, did you loose weight on that diet?

How do you figure it as highly processed?

Depends on the bacon. Some can have a lot of additives.

As far as weight loss, I did but I was also commuting to work by bike. I was also running a few 5K's around that time. Getting away from highly processed food is a good start. But I love my pizza and pasta, just not every day.

Bacon is a processed meat that has class one carcinogens. It is injected with regular, salt, sugar, curing salt and other preservatives. It is then put on hanging racks and smoked for several hours.

I'll begin -

When I take clothes out of the drier I hang them on plastic coloured hangers and select the colour of hanger that best matches the clothing being hung up.

Perhaps I'm not alone in this but I suspect I might be.
Wife: Not alone...My daughters do the same, but maybe unusual in that you are not an elementary schooler.

I for one always had my skittles organized by color as a child and started with the extras before I continued by ROYGBV order. Probably still might if I trusted myself to eat skittles. I always have (and probably will until I die) eaten Mcdonalds nuggets starting with the breading around the edges, then top and bottom, and finishing off the rest of the nugget afterward.

I eat the pie filling first, then the crust.

I had a childhood friend that would eat the breading on breaded shrimp, and leave the shrimp! Her parents took us out to Ponderosa (remember that one?) and we'd get the all you can eat shrimp and at the end of the meal her plate would be piled up with little naked shrimps.

Broke my heart in a way :(
