I DO still hide food, but I hide it from myself... If that makes sense! If I buy cookies, I have to put them in my desk drawer rather than leave them on my desk because I know I'd eat them all. All the chocolate I brought back from Belgium went in a drawer not in the kitchen, so I was less likely to eat it in the middle of the night!

I used to hide my eating sweets when I was a kid from my mum. I used to be always sneaking out to the shops and eating the evidence before I came back. She caught me once and said, "You're only cheating yourself..." WTF??? I was a CHILD! I shouldn't have been on a diet anyway! I think having those foods "restricted" at the time probably led to further issues. Even now when my parents came to stay just this past couple of days I stuffed my face like there was no tomorrow... I think it's defiance! "Look mum, I've lost TONS of weight and I'm going to eat like a pig in front of you!" I think that's what it's about really. I'd never really twigged until now... Food for thought!

Sorry for the ramble!

I'd hide food so my family wouldn't eat it and I could later sneak up stairs and eat while watching tv.. pretty gross.. the only thing I hide is my "healthy" snacks from my husband! or I wouldn't have any.
I'd eat in the car and throw away wrappers and bags... so gross

Pansy, I can totally relate to that.
Yesterday I accidentally left out a bag of walnuts that I use to sprinkle on my oatmeal for protein. My DH came home, and stood and chatted to me while I was on the computer. I noticed he was throwing something into his mouth, but didn't realize until later that he'd consumed almost an entire new bag of walnuts! In about five minutes!!
I've hidden the rest in the fridge... let see if he finds them.

I buy sugar-free candy for me and hide it in my dresser drawers. I'm not really hiding to eat it secretly, I just don't want my kids to eat all my diet "treats" and leave the fattening things that I can't have in the cupboards. When I do eat it, I watch the serving size and adhere to what is allowed for my woe. I don't eat their brownies, so they don't get my diet candy.

I live alone so I don't really have anyone to hide my food from...

When I used to live with a housemate I would keep a big bowl of pears, apples, oranges, etc. in my room. I said it was for decoration, but it was just to cut down on the amount of times I'd go to the kitchen during the day.

Also, when I was really anorexic I would hoard things like chocolates under my bed to eat "one day when I'm better". Of course, when I finally did recover, I had much better things to eat than ancient chocolates. :P

I sware I need to be committed! I was doing so good! I had taken all of the food out of my room and started to somewhat get back on the right track. But just like always, I fail once again and start hiding food again. The cycle is so amazingly crazy. Binge...Diet...Binge...Diet...Binge...Diet...and it is so unreal, the mind games that come along with eating disorders. Anyhow, I just needed to vent. Thanks for listening!
