Dr. Robert GalatzerLevy answered

Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Embarassment: People with eating disorders either 1) eat in a way they know is odd and are embarrassed and/or 2) they are trying to hid a symptom of the eating disorder, like pushing food around on the plate instead of eating it and/or 3) they experience eating in general as disgusting.
