[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you heavier / overweight and worried other people are judging you? 
Is this a newer relationship and you are scared to “pig out” in front of your BF? Or you have a weird thing where you are scared to go to the bathroom in other people’s homes? 
Are you anorexic or fitness obsessed and really into “clean eating”? 
Are your boyfriend’s friends all big drinkers and “let’s pig out on wings, nachos, dip, etc.” people and you are not?

Maybe you need therapy if this is something that happens a lot in all kinds of situations. If it’s just your BF and his friends, maybe it’s a flag that this is not the group for you because the way they like to have fun is not fun for you. [/quote]

OP here. These are good questions. The latter one is very spot on but last night they were not drinking much at all. But they had all kinds of food like burnt ends etc (I’m not a bit meat eater). They had a whole spread of other stuff too. I’m maybe 5 lbs overweight. I had a slight eating disorder in high school but overcame it (I was a cheerleader, not overweight then). I’ve had body dysmorphic disorder issues for most of my life. I can relax and eat in front of others but felt very uncomfortable last night for some reason. The food being on the kitchen island wirh people sitting around it etc for some reason really made me uncomfortable. Something about putting food on my plate while others are watching me makes me feel criticized. Had an ex that used to call me fat b* all the time (I was maybe 5-10 lbs overweight due to an antidepressant).

I love to cook for other people but I feel weird eating in other peoples homes.  I wish I wasn’t like this but when I get in the situation, the anxiety is very strong. [/quote]
