A little nervous...

I think I am going to go out to dinner with a friend tonight, and I'm very nervous. I'm not really afraid to eat in front of him, but he does know about my eating issues, and I'm sure that he will encourage me to eat. Sometimes I don't like eating in restaurants because the portions are so large, and I'm afraid that once I start eating, I won't ever be able to stop. I know that's silly, but that's the way that I feel sometimes. Plus, the waiters and waitresses always encourage you to order more food. I know that is their job, but sometimes I wish that they wouldn't. I'm being really silly and petty, so I'm going to stop now, but I'm just so anxious about it.

I'm afraid I missed this post yesterday, perfectstar.

It went pretty well. I was able to eat my food and not freak out about it too much afterwards. My friend helped to keep me distracted, too. He had brought me a couple of gifts, and he didn't show them to me until right before dinner. I know it sounds really childish, but sometimes something like that can help me feel better and distract me.

At least you know the event was much more than about food -- and the gifts sound like good conversation-starters.
