[QUOTE]Originally posted by fille_francaise: [QB] I think I may be developing some sort of an eating disorder, though I don't think it would be considered anorexia or bulimia (sp?). This past year [2006] a lot of crazy, stressful things happen to me [parents' divorce, 3 year relationship ended, father moving out of the house, depression & anxiety attacks, etc] & during those times, I found that because I was so upset & overwhelmed, I wasn't eating as much, due to a nervous stomach & just not wanting to eat, period. There were days where I wouldn't eat much at all, days where I felt nauseous with a loss of appetite & then, days where I felt like I was just starving. Basically, my mood for food & an appetite varied in big ways. I feel like I lost a lot of weight because of this. Now it's been over a year & because I've been so used to eating the way I have, I can't stop. Maybe this isn't a cause for alarm, but it offends & sometimes scares others around me who aren't used to seeing a person eat oatmeal & a banana & call that breakfast & lunch. I get teased most of the time & picked at for the way I eat. Also, it doesn't help that I'm 5'6'' & 107 pounds. People think I'm starving myself, & sometimes, self-consciouslly I think I am as well. Also, I have this weird anxiety when going out to eat dinner at a restuarant. I hate eating out, simply because I don't feel comfortable. I feel that there are too many people, the restuarant is crowded & loud. I usually get myself so worked up that I begin to get anxious & can't finish my food. Even if I am starving, the moment I sit down at the table, I feel anxious & can't finish my dinner. I feel like this is some form of social anxiety that I wish I could get past. Any advice?
