I have been there with EVERYONE telling me how "skinny" I am and commenting on that and my weight. They would constantly try to give me food like I am some stray animal they are trying to coax, or a child who needs help being fed. It creates so much ANXIETY! I couldn't stand being around people!

Other people will comment and "joke" about my eating habits, like, "OMG, you are eating!" It does drive a person nuts to hear people talking about you like that every day!

It all does make a person think more in to the habits and love/hate them even more, hate yourself. And nobody understands.

I was too scared to go in to work a couple times last year because of it--and I hadn't called in sick or anything ahead of time. One time I was one of a small group of our department who was awarded a special luncheon for high performance at a nice, nearby restaurant. I was a no-call, no-show that day. I finally confessed to my boss through a voice mail to him at Midnight why I didn't show. It was hard when he talked to me the next day. He wanted to know who was making comments--but I didn't want anyone to get "in trouble" or feel uncomfortable if he talked to them. Plus there were so many people, at work, outside of work. He couldn't have eliminated it all. I was ok that he knew about it, but its a difficult thing to talk about nonetheless. Its still very hard to talk about certain details of my habits with my T or doctor. When I get to see them, that is. Without money, I can't really see my T anymore right now. And I miss him.
