How did I handle those situations as a child and as a teenager?

  • I learned to lie saying I liked the food. Then I gulped the food down with water instead of chewing it.
  • I learned to eat and hold it in, only to throw up later.
  • I learned to lie even more, saying that I had eaten it all when I hadn’t, so I wouldn’t have to answer any questions or deal with punishment related to not cleaning my plate.
  • I learned to control food because I didn’t know how to deal with people being upset with me, my repressed feelings and eventually, life in general.
