i know a lot of you will hate me for saying this but i wish i was one of those people who ate when they were stressed out. i've always been a thin person and i feel self concious about it sometimes. my dad used to bug me about it a lot when i was younger and i think it has a lot to do with my anxieties about restaurants and eating in general and possibly my emetophobia (fear of vomiting)
anyway, whenever i get really anxious for one reason or another or get knocked back into "the hole" as i like to call it when i have a bad attack and it takes weeks to get back to normal again, my stomach goes haywire and i can't eat hardly anything and i feel ill a lot, probably from not eating, which in turn makes the phobia worse and so on and so forth.
does anyone else have trouble eating when they are really anxious? sometimes ifeel like i am the only one. my boyfriend will eat more when he's stressed and it just makes me sad. he's overweight though, so it is bad for him. i don't need to lose ANY weight. in fact, i really want to gain about 10 lbs.

and no i do not have an eating disorder.
