I just needed to pick up my staples for the week - probably less food than one normal person eats in a day. I was so embarrassed when a friend ran into me - he's probably not judging my groceries but he knows I have an eating disorder and I feel like I just got "caught" eating.

Hello dear ''Boydisappearing''. Oh my lordy, don't I just know and understand how it feels when people ''know'' us (the ED folk) and we meet them in the supermarket etc. Yurp, they DEF DO check out our baskets, I'm not being paranoid, I don't like to be judged by people who have little, or no understanding of one's siruation and lifestyle. I absolutely DREAD bumping into anybody!! I don't care whether I'm fat (yep been there) or I'm thin (been there and am thin now) though for how long I can remain thin is any bodies guess. I haven't touched alcohol this time round, just let it take it's course. So yeah, in answer to your questions, people looking into my shopping basket (or trolly) I can't stand, I need to concentrate, that's all. LOVING YOU DARLING!!!

it can be embarrassing especially if i've bought alot of snacks and junk food, my husband usually does the food shopping now because it bothered me so much, and he buys healthier food too.

Oh gosh yes I know what that feels like. It's awful, it makes me feel so ashamed when someone who knows I have an ED sees me eating or sees me around food at all. Before my diagnosis I basically stalked the kitchen as my dad would go in there nearly every 10 minutes and I would have to sneak in silently and hoard and hide food somewhere else so I wouldn't get seen or interrupted.

And on the few occasions where someone did catch me I basically had a panic attack.
