Most of the overweight people I know act like this if we end up going out to eat. After court yesterday went to eat with the team for our side (I was just picking the jury) and the one 350 pound dude acted like he wasn't hungry, the rest of us ate BBQ. He sat there and didn't eat. I felt bad because it's obviously out of self-consciousness, but it's like we can look at ya dog we know you like to eat. Just eat.

Hah, he doesn't work for me or at my firm, so not my issue/problem. I wouldn't be mean to him though anyway he is a very hard working lawyer, just likes to eat apparently.

This is why tracking is so important - you can make choices based upon the nutrition content.
One of the first things I cut out was peanuts. I fuckin love peanuts - but peanuts are SO many calories because of how much fat is involved there. So, what do you wanna eat, 6 peanuts or literally almost anything else?
A typical granola bar is 200-250 calories. I've got a nature valley protein bar in my bag - 190 calories, 1.42 ounces. Or - 6 oz of chicken is 252 calories. What keeps me full longer? What's a better use of my calories for the day?
Anyone who's into hardcore gaming should be able to see this shit. Min max your diet. You can't tell me a forum full of hardcore MMO players don't know how to min max shit. You wouldn't use a weapon with shittier stats, stop eating food with shittier stats.

I mean, that's a little like going "hey, look at the alcoholic scared to drink in public! or lol, look at that brokeass trying to save money!" Also possible fatty is trying to eat better and knows that he's not going to have a reasonable portion of delicious bbq (or is trying to keto, IF, or whatever). Much easier for me to skip a meal than to consistently control portions, and you can bet your ass that I've never been embarrassed to eat. (I'm quite good at it, having had so much practice!) Obviously fatty habits got people fat, but that didn't happen over night, and undoing it doesn't happen overnight either. I've been losing weight pretty consistently for maybe 3 years, and I'm still fat. And God knows how many times I've tried and fallen off the wagon prior to that.

The taste of failure and shame is eerily similar to the taste of pizza and ice cream.

I actually really don't like eating around other people even though I eat like a bird now. Ive always been that way even at my fattest. Just a weird autism trait I'm sure.

It's more like the alcoholic showing up to the bar sloshed and ruined his life through alcohol and then going "none for me I'm sober thanks!" than the scenario you're laying out, but point taken, what you say could absolutely be true. I'm not trying to be mean to the guy (or those in his situation). He's a genuinely good dude and hard worker.

If you loved snacking on peanuts, try a switch to pecans. Healthier and still tasty if you just toss a pound in the oven with a little salt (or soy sauce). Good snack.
