this reminds me of years ago when I used to work at a clothing store that sold lingerie. Every single time a man bought some he would tell us it wasn't for him. :lol: I'd always say "good, it isn't your size"

I've gone into shops before and stocked up on 2 bars of chocolate, crisps, fizzy drinks, jellies and whatever else I could find and be so ashamed and so embarrassed. Sometimes I'd get two of something (like two drinks) so MAYBE, just MAYBE they would think it wasn't just for me.

Other times I'd be going to the shop and I'd say in a whisper but enough for the cashier to hear me "Oh, damn. I forget what so and so wanted" so they also wouldn't think it was all for me.

Shocking...

I know most people aren't even looking, but whenever I'm getting "binge food" I try to get some normal things and sort of hide the junk under them in the cart... then I do the self check out so that the cashiers don't see what I'm getting. I've gotten way too good at this unfortunately... and I always think that if I were a cashier I'd be able to spot other people with eating problems from a mile away, just by the guilty looks on their faces :/
