Eating Disorder?

My eating is weird, but I’m not sure if I have an ED or not. But I can’t eat whole things. For example, I can’t put a whole banana to my mouth, I break off pieces and eat them. Same if I’m eating a granola bar or a sandwhich, I break off pieces and eat them. I don’t care how messy I get, I just don’t want to take a bite from whole foods. And I don’t like to eat around/in front of people, it embarrasses me. And if I’m dead hungry and I get a snack, I make sure no one sees me going into the kitchen and I usually hide the snack in my pocket while walking back to my room to eat it.

I don’t know.. am I just being weird? Or is there something wrong with me?

Sounds more like a little OCD, but not really harmful. I think it’s pretty much up to you if you want to change it or not, you know, like getting over a fear; not necessary, but takes some effort if you want to deal with it.

Nah it’s not an eating disorder I’m exactly the same.
I prefer to pick things apart than eat them whole.
I also can’t put food together.
Say you have a burger…Imagine eating a layer at a time…thats me =]
I’d say Mr. P is right..It’s OCD and not an Eating disorder

my ex gf was the same way. I wouldn’t say it’s an eating disorder. It would be a really good fear to overcome though. I mean you don’t want to be the only one not eating at say a wedding or a birthday party, right? hah.
