Why am I so weird about food?!
Question: Why am I so weird about food?
I'm 18 now and live with one of my friends. Whenever his family is gone I go on a food binge. I just eat until I'm stuffed. I don't like eating in front of them and feel like I have to limit myself when I'm around them.
Is anyone else weird about food? Why am I like this?

It sounds like you may have been left hungry as a baby or young child.
You know you have a problem so now you can work on changing it.Pizza is just a phone call away. There are restaurants and grocery stores everywhere will all sorts of endless foods.
You may find working with a therapist can help.Perhaps talk to your parents .
I wish you the best.
There are a couple of issues going on. First, you're a typical, greedy teenager, OK? Don't mean that in a bad way...teens have worked very little for what they have received to that point in their life yet sem to get territorial to a point way out of proportion to the work they put out to obtain the item...in your case, food. Second, the closet binging would seem to indicate you have unfulfilled desires that you are attempting to placate with food. If you do not substitute some other, socially approved behavior for the food, you will end up a 350 pound butter ball. Most folks your age gravitate towards cheap, meaningless sex as an outlet.
Actually, this is quite normal. It is a suppressant of anxeity and want. This is not trying to be rude, but you have a control issue. You enjoy being superior, and do not things going against your plans. This is likely to cause you being very controling with food. Food is a physical desire for the body, therefor your brain has a desire for it. Your brain, being the leader of your body, signals for your hormone levels to eat. And, because you have a disorder with order, your brain sends little signals to the rest of your anatomy to combat with your need for food. Which casues your problem with family and friends and food.
Order + Hunger = Anxiety.
Order + Family = Anger
Order + Family + Hunger = Anger and Anxeity.
All you need to do is stop the issue you have with having things in control, and your problem will be solved.
Hope I helped!
