Is it just me? Since i got the band when ihave to eat with others i think they all eat like pigs

at 3 and 1/2 months or so i am eating moslty normal foods now...i find it's weird with friends when you eat so much less them they do (i used to be the one who ate everything on my plate, the bread and crumbs on the table ect) now i get a soup or if it's family style everyone wonders at the end why we have so many leftovers....

i don't realy enjoy eating with others as i can't use my timer and have to count in my head

its ok when you are talking between bites

But eventually the others all dig in and you have to just eat a little and stop

I am jealous of how others can still eat…I know it’s wrong and silly but when I gee others munching on something I used to love it hurts

I am also amazed at how much people eat and how big the bites are...I guess I used to be like that! I had a hard time letting go of worrying what others thought of me that I eat so little now. Some people might think I'm judging them for how much they eat or that I have an eating disorder because my meals are so tiny, but more than two years banded, I just no longer care what anyone thinks!

Sometimes when I am eating with friends and having fun I get distracted and dont chew enough...but I am not going to avoid friends because of it! I just have to learn to pay attention so I dont get stuck!
