Wanted to share my Day. I hooked up with a old friend on facebok that I meat in high school. We been just chilling at her house and food was not a subject. Today she ask me out to eat with another friend. So I accept the invite. we went to the olive garden. It was alright accept that I could not finish and I noticed I was the only one cutting my salad. Than I got all weird when the food came everything was touching each other my food and I don't like that Well I didn't want to make a seen So I started moving my food around. Right than it all look weird to me. Well I ended up eating a little bit. Than said I must of order something I didn't care for. I hate going out to eat. Even have trouble placing my order. so my hubby does it for me.

It seems that even when the behaviors are controlled (more or less), the thoughts and temptations remain. Remember to take pride in the small accomplishments. I, for one, believe that even accepting the invitation to eat out with friends is a large step in the right direction.

Be kind to yourself, avoice.

i agree, the fact that you went out and eat something is a positive accomplishment and you should focus on that rather than how hard it was.

You did great to accept the invitation and go out anyway, even though you're anxious in those situations! That's huge and I hope you can acknowledge that and feel good about yourself for being so brave and facing this.
I'm sorry you felt self conscious and also worried about the food. Try to look at the positives though, you did really well. x
