Unhappy Why ? D: - January 18th 2012, 02:12 AM

Hey, why can't I eat infront of my boyfriend ? Uhm, yes I eat infront of my best guyfriends. No, I don't think I'm fat. I have fast metabolism so no matter how much I eat I don't get fat at all. I eat a lot. All of my best friends or friends think I'm a pig (I don't take it seriously; they're that kind of people who joke around a lot.) anyway, why can I eat infront of other boys but not my boyfriend ? I'm spending the whole day with him this weekend & I have to eat ! I'm going to be with him from 10 am to 9 pm. Ofc, I NEED to eat. I've spent few hours with him like 7 hours or so & trust me it's really hard because I'm get really hungry. How can I eat infront of him ? :/. Thank you.

Perhaps you're just extremely nervous around him and therefore, can't eat? I'm not really sure. Usually, something like this will tie to some kind of self-esteem issue with weight. But, you've said that's not the case.

When you guys plan to eat, try relaxing and pretend that you're not with your boyfriend and instead, are with one of your guy friends or something. It seems like something that will eventually pass, once you get more comfortable.

Goodness, I was the exact same way. My boyfriend started sitting at my lunch table and I didn't eat for like, a week. I always thought that he would say something about how much I ate, because I tend to eat a lot also. I just kind of got over it though, by trying not to think about it.

When I went on my first date with my current boyfriend, I was worried that I would get food stuck in my teeth and look stupid... so I ate, but covered my mouth the whole time! Fortunately, that anxiety quickly dissipated as I grew closer to my boyfriend. I'm betting that your fears will vanish once you've taken the plunge once or twice and realized, "Hey, he's not treating me any differently!" It's a trust issue... but if you can't trust your boyfriend to be kind, then why would you even date him in the first place?! =P

I used to be nervous around my ex boyfriend. I spent eight hours a day with him for just over a week and didn't eat at all during that time. I was soo hungry so I just ate one day and he only laughed at me once because I dropped half of my food.
All you have to do is relax and realise that he doesn't care about how much you eat, or how messy you can be or anything. He's just happy that you're with him. So just take the plunge and eat, you'll realise everything will be exactly the same.

Its a comfort thing. I have been the same way with anyone, it always takes me some time before I can open up and feel comfortable eating.
Just remember that eating is a normal thing that we all do. He won't think you're fat, and will love you no matter what.
