I feel guilty but i shouldn't

Question

i'm trying to put weight on.

i don't have an eating disorder, never have, but i am underweight.

whenever i eat something that has a lot of calories or if i eat in front of people i feel really guilty afterwards, even though i have no reason to.

i hate eating in front of people so when i have to i cut things up really small and then eat really slowly.

i always finish my meal but i hate to look like a pig by eating it all.

how can i stop myself from feeling so guilty, at the moment it feels like something i can't control?

Answer 1

yeah same here i used to be a little overweight, and i would be really embarresed to eat in front of others because i hate when i think about what they are probably thinking.but i got over it because i thought this is stupid atleast your not an obese person who stuffs their mouth in public so then i just stopped.

Answer 2

Just think that everyone has to eat, and think that finishing a meal is like winning a medal, be proud that you are healthy, and no one will think you are a pig when you only weigh 83 pounds.  

Answer 3

Well ...i just eat whatever i like whenever i like and dont worry about what i look like as im just doing a completely normal thing which everybody does. Stop worrying what you look like etc, your actually drawing more attention to yourself by eating strangely.

I always think that there are millions of people in the world who are starving to death, they would not give a shite what they looked liked if they got some food!

Answer 4

You don't explain adequately what you feel guilty about. About eating freely in from of others--? Why do you think doing so causes you to feel guilty? Is it because most people have the reverse problem: they are overweight so must not eat as you can? Is it because you've been told that you must not eat everything because only "pigs" do that? Is it because you think that it is inherently wrong to "eat something that has a lot of calories"?

If so, then you've bought into the values of your environment. Why do you think you do that? What is it about you that refuses to accept yourself? Is low weight a symbol of that same refusal?

I don't have the answers, but perhaps you can think through the problem and understand it in a way that will permit you to change.

Answer 5

Is it rational to feel guilty after eating something with a lot of calories?

in my view... no :P. I don't see any reason as to why you may feel this way... so don't feel that way :)

I'm underweight and I eat like a pig :) I could eat my bro's portion if I wanted to lol.  

Answer 6
