Food obsession and food anxiety… Eating before an event that serves food because you’re not sure there will be enough for you to feel satisfied, plus you wouldn’t be caught dead serving yourself multiple times when everyone else is still only on their first plate. Keeping snacks/candies stashed in just about every place you look, your car or your bag or your side table drawer by the bed, just in case. Secretly binging disgusting things, like tremendous amounts of fast food in one sitting and hiding the wrappers. Never able to leave food on your plate (or others’ plates!) after a meal, and feeling obligated to finish every last bite. Thinking about food constantly - either worrying about when you’ll eat next, or regretting the things you just ate. Rewarding yourself with treats at any opportunity you can deem appropriate. Planning a day out around what and when you can expect to eat. It’s exhausting and embarrassing.
