As much as it is hard to believe, I tend to avoid eating especially and public gathering. I have never been able to eat at another persons house or even at a company function or family barbeque. I don’t have an eating disorder, I maintain a healthy weight but since college I have learned how to go without. In the military and working in hospitals the ability to push through without having to stop and eat has proved to be an advantageous quality even if it isn’t always the best for me.
