Is it normal to eat right before i go out to dinner because........

I eat right before I go out to dinner, like on a date, or with friends, or anything really... Because I don't want them to think I eat a lot. I hate eating in front of people, especially when I'm hungry enough to have a full meal. So if I eat first I can order anything and just eat some, without the person thinking I eat a lot. Is this normal or am I really a weirdo?

Is It Normal?

  • Sounds like you may be on track to developing an eating disorder. If it gets worse, please seek help. You should eat however much your body needs when you are with others. I doubt they will comment about it, and even if they do, I doubt they will have negative feelings about it. Just relax and eat what you need to! If you are overweight, get some exercise... if not, just eat! :)

    • I think I'm fat. And eating in front of people makes me feel really fat and gross. I exercise every day.
