I wasn't sure whether to post this here or on the ED forum.

I've got a trip coming up for Biology soon, and we were given a slip of paper today asking us to choose the pizza we want and the pudding.

I am now super anxious about this. It's happened lots of times before - in France, in London, in Wales etc. I've got this voice in the back of my head saying that all of the foods are bad for me, but also that people will hate me if I choose fatty foods and will think I'm greedy and fat and a pig. It's becoming a real problem, and I hate it, because I can't make the most of any of my trips, because I'm always preoccupied with food.

Another thing that's similar that I've noticed is that I feel really uncomfortable going food shopping. Even if it's just to buy a sandwich from a corner shop, I feel really self-conscious about it and get panicky about what people think when I pay for it.

Has anyone got any advice or knows what I could do? I want to have the food I want on this trip, and I don't want to choose a horrible type of pizza just because I'm scared about what people think of me. For exmaple, I asked for a vegetarian pizza when I went to London because I didn't want to get the meat feast or pepperoni because I didn't want people to think I was greedy and fat. That pizza was horrible. Really disgusting. And I don't want to do that this time.
