    Obsession: (not from the dictionary) is an irrational, overwhelming interest or desire in someone or something to the point where it may be constantly on a person's mind, consuming one's thoughts and often preventing a person from functioning adequately.  


    Example:  I am obsessed with exercise and am at the gym for 5 hours every day. I do situps while I watch TV and squats while brushing my teeth. 


    Example:  He was obsessed with winning the lottery and purchased 100 tickets at a time.


    Example:  That freshman girl has an obsession with boys.  That's all she ever thinks about.
