Eating feels illegal

So when I eat bad food (fast food, sugar etc.) I usually do it when Im alone and if I go and buy food I usually park and eat it by myself and then go home or to wherever I am going. I know thats kind of strange but its the actual feeling of eating it that I find kind of strange, while eating it I look around and worry if people will see me, as if I was doing cocaine or something. If Im home and want a cookie or something I will eat it in the kitchen and then walk back into the tv room where my wife is. Im not sure I get why I do it and I wish I could stop.

However if I go out for some ice cream or fast food with friends I have no problem and dont get the same feeling. Anyone have this feelling?

    I don't think it's normal, but I have that problem too. The worst is if you need to eat but nobody else is eating. I can never be totally comfortable with it.

    Oh my god. I am the SAME exact way. When I come home I have this terrible guilty feeling about eating something I want...I'll usually get a cookie and run into the bathroom or something. It's so weird. And if I've eaten in front of the computer and I hear someone coming, I'll quickly run into the kitchen to hide the bowl...

    Shame over eating was one of the main signs of my eating disorder developing/coming back. You need to curb this Shame before it curbs you! Trust me on this. Letting an eating disorder control you makes life miserable.

    I've secretly eaten bad foods. It supposedly a sign of addiction...
