I had an eating disorder and now I'm trying to lose weight the healthy way but...?

I don't like eating in front of people. Not even my parents, friends, strangers, no one. The thing is I gained a lot of weight and now, trying to be healthy and lose it, I'm trying to eat small meals every 3 hours to speed up my metabolism. Since I'm in school this is hard for me. I'm allowed to eat in a few of my classes, which is good because one of them is exactly 3 hours after I eat breakfast, and I get hungry but it's so hard to eat in front of everyone. I feel like everyones watching me and they ARE because I'm kinda fat!!! But I always eat something healthy like one of those Fiber Bars or a fruit bar or something..anyways, I just want to know if anyone could help me with this situation..

It sounds great that you have had an eating order and have found a way to live with it. That is great. next is that you are doing something sensible to balance out your weight now.

If you are eating a healthy snack then it is no problem to eat in front of people. Health makes them think you are being good. Eating a chocolate bar would be a problem but eating healthy food is not a problem with the way they think about you.

I think you would get value from reading this article http://www.thehealthsuccesssite.com/Lose... It talks about getting enough calories to keep healthy while still being able to trim down.

You would also get value out of this one that talks about how our body absorbs nutrition. It will show you that the 3hr thing is not really that important. www.thehealthsuccesssite.com/nutrition-f...

Since it's hard to eat "meals" that often in a school structure, you'll probably want to look to high-fiber snacks instead. They have the benefit of being quick to eat and to be filling as well.
