Eating Out Causes Stress for Me

by

At times, eating out can really cause stress because I almost always obsess about what I just ate right afterward. My mind goes through all these analytical questions about everything I just ate like:
How much food was that exactly?
Was it too much or too little?
If it is too little, what should I get to get the amount I am supposed to get?
Since I am eating out, I can try other peoples food, right?
How much fat was in that one bite?
The list of questions can go on and on. I then start to worry about the other people who saw me eat. Will they think that what I just ate contradicted my healthy lifestyle? Am I a fake? Are they totally judging me and thinking I am a freak?
Yeah, eating out can cause a lot more stress than it should.

About Eating Disorder Talk

The goal of Eating Disorder Talk is to encourage family and friends of people living with disordered eating - as well as sufferers - to learn more about the conditions, where to get help, the risks associated and another vessel of communication. I come with 20 years of experience living with (and sometimes for) anorexia; my job is not to cure, it’s to allow others to speak. This means wanting to help those that want help and to provide a voice to those who don’t.
