    Eating phobia!!

    Hi, I was just wondering if there are any other people on here that suffer with not being able to eat in front of other people?? Over the past 12mths or so I have stopped eating or drinking around anyone!! I try but go into panic then i cant swallow properly and feel like people are watching me then it becomes even worse.... If I get invited out for lunch, dinner ect i can't do it??? Ive lost over 6kgs over the past month :-( Any advice please and thx in advance.... Beverley

    Never had a problem eating. Just get bloated after and a nervous stomach sometimes.

    Hey, I do tend to get super nervous when I go out and eat but mines due to the fact that I'm scared of throwing up. I'm a huge health freak and make sure to look into what I'm eating ad to make sure it's cooked properly. I am a tiny girl 5'6 100 lbs so I get it. It's sad because I love food and desperately want to gain weight. I want to go out and eat but I get so nervous

    Hi Amy I'm very much the same! I'm 5ft7 and am only 51kgs. At my height i should be about 75kgs but i cant put on any weight either.... Its very frustrating to be like this!! My size 8 jeans are falling off of me?? Maybe its time to get some sustagen drink in us? My chronic anxiety also makes me drop the weight because I'm a constant nervous wreck :-( Thx for your reply and hope things look up for you to! Take care..... Beverley
