Bingeing in Public

[m!lk]

Okay, i know I mess around with my disorder.. and don't take it too seriously until I actually cannot cannot stop. Anyway, I have a new 'thing' now, which is bingeing in public. Last week, i spent £30 on a load of cupcakes and literally binged my way through them at speed, for all to see. ANd today, I did the same in town.. I just stood in town, by the bus stop eating eating eating..donuts then cheeseburger.. then cookies.. then mini eggs.. actually getting a buzz off the funny looks??

Wanted to ask, how does everyone else feel about bingeing in public?

whenever im in binge mode and im around people i just laugh and make fun of myself because they think that i can eat like a horse all the time and still weigh 112 lbs...little do they know....

ive never done it like chilling out in public by myself tho

Sometimes I binge eat alone in public, but not all in one spot. Like I'll eat one or two food items sitting on a bench by the sidewalk, then relocate to another bench like a block or two away, and eat some more, get up and repeat. I guess my case is different in the sense that I attempt to hide it when I binge in public.

I have no idea what people must think of me. Mostly I binge driving and stop a lot at fast food places and sometimes by the time I get to the next place, I am still eating the last and have to hide the wrappers really quick. Other times I have ordered my food and realized that there was a half eaten box of donuts and tons of candy wrappers in my passanger seat and wonder if the worker noticed.

The closest to a public binge I've ever had is at friend's houses when we're all stoned. At that point I just don't care and everyone else has got the munchies, so no one really pays attention. Or, if they do realize how much I'm eating compared to everyone else, they think it's funny, and I'll take pride in it, like it's a contest or something. I'm not overweight, just on the heavier end of average (about 5'1 and 117.5), so no one thinks I'm a fat pig when I do it. But I would never binge eat alone in public, that would take all the enjoyment out of it for me. I really only ever want to eat alone, at home, in my bed while watching tv. I don't enjoy eating half as much with other people, and generally try to avoid it.

Ahhh, this is exactly what I do when I binge in public...but I always eat normally/really healthily when I'm with people I know. In fact when I told my dad about my ED, he was astounded because apparently he'd never seen me overeat. He was more often worried I wasn't eating enough...

...Actually, I do overeat in front of my brother, for some reason. He doesn't know about my ED, and he'll eat the same- we just joke and laugh at ourselves for being "fat". Of course to him it is a joke. Stick that he is. I suppose he just assumes I have the same fast metabolism that he does, but even that can't save you when you binge every day. So it's really beginning to show :S

i have binged in front of my fam, but they think i have a bottomless stomach so i just get called names. but, my freshman year i would buy tun of food for myself and others during lunch and didn't mind others seeing me that much.
My family is about as public as i get with food now.
