The earliest reference to sushi in history was in the year 718. If you do the math, that's 1,300 years that people have been eating and loving sushi, including myself.

I always said that I would never eat sushi because the thought of eating something raw made me nauseous. That was until I tried it.

I will never forget the first time I tried sushi. I was at a food court with my church's youth group after a whitewater rafting trip and my friend decided to be brave and get sushi from this sketchy booth at the food court.

She convinced me to try a piece of her California roll and I absolutely loved it. Ever since then, I have been obsessed with sushi and trying new rolls. It's definitely very high on my list of favorite foods. Here are some signs that you're obsessed with sushi just like I am.

1. It's always your go to for a meal

Italian or sushi? Sushi. Mexican or sushi? Sushi. Fast food or sushi? Sushi, always sushi.

2. Your friends are concerned with how much you eat sushi
