Eating w/others

I wanted to ask a few questions because I have a funny problem.

Maybe it's a good thing. I love food! But when I eat with others, in public, I don't eat a lot. I am too self conscious, I eat like a bird. But at home...or by myself... I eat like I would never eat in front of others. Is this a good thing because it shows SOME control? Or is this a dangerous thing bc it shows bad habits? Does anyone else do this???

I do the same thing when I'm with people that I'm not that comfortable with.

When I don't eat enough during the day I tend to eat more at home.

It started from anxiety, I wouldn't eat all day and then I'd binge at home and that's part of how the weight kept piling on.

If you still have control at home and you're not overeating then it's a good thing I guess!

MissL I don't seem to have that issue...but I use my Eat Slow app on my cellphone when I eat out and at home...so I eat about the same way both places. I am sure though what your explaining here is normal...but I would try to eat the same both places...slowing down and watching portions...you got this I just know it!!!

I do the same thing and am currently trying to change it. I'm trying to pretend I'm always eating in front of others so I eat like a bird more often LOL.
