Tips: hiding your secrets

Parents

Excuses:

• "I ate at school"
• "I binged this/last _____, I am too sick to eat."  
• "I ate at _____'s house." 
• "I'm on my period, so my appetite is messed up." / "My birth control is messing with my appetite."
• "I'll eat later, I have got homework."
• "I'll eat later, I have a stomach ache right now..." (Take some tums in front of them)
• "I'm cramping!"
• "I don't like _____"
• "If you want me to eat then let me fix my own dinner."
• "I'd rather a dry salad." 

Evidence:

• Make an effort to go into the kitchen in the middle of the night/right after parents go to bed and make a little bit of noise with plates/fridge/sink (pretending to be late-night snacking) 
• Leave dirty plates in the sink/your room, make sure you throw out the food that you "ate" using that dirty plate. 

Last Resort:

• Have a rag/napkin in your pocket, try to be inconspicuous as you chew your food and "cough" a bit before putting your hand/napkin to your lips to take the food out and put it in your pocket. After dinner shake the rag out into toilet and flush the gunk down. 
• Try to eat in your room if you can, have a grocery bag stored in there to put the food in and bring the plate back, when parents are asleep throw bag away.
• If you have to eat dinner with the family then fast all day everyday so that those are the only calories you are taking in (eat only half of what is on your plate and show struggle like you are so full you are going to be sick) make sure you work out lots afterwards. 

Friends

Excuses:

• "I ate before I came"
• "I don't like _____."
• "No thanks."
• "You're not with me 24/7,  I eat all the time at home."
• "I have a fast metabolism, I eat a lot when I am home alone." 
• "Not in the mood to snack, trying to tone my muscles."

Evidence:

• Bring packed lunches to school (baby carrot sticks/celery) so they can't say you don't ever eat.
• If you are at a friends house and it is "snacking time" simply eat a fruit or claim indigestion. 
• If you're sleeping over dinner time: make sure you only get a very little, then eat only half of that, if they say anything simply say that you weren't very hungry to begin with.

Coworkers

Excuses:

• Man/Woman up and tell them it is none of their business.

Evidence (if job is on the line due to health):

• Bring packed lunches (1 slice of reduced calorie bread with mustard, carrots)
• Take lunch breaks and actually leave the office, take this time to get a diet coke from a fast food joint so when you come back it looks like you ate there. 

Lovers

Excuses:

• "I am a vegetarian/vegan"
• "not that hungry tonight"
• "it is my period/birth control"
• (distract them?Take their mind off of it?)

Evidence:

• same as you would at home with parents: leave dirty/clean dishes in sink (say you washed them)
• Cook dinner/lunch/breakfast for your partner whenever possible to take their attention from you eating
• Make deserts like cake all the time (you can cut slices and "bring them to work" but throw it out) 

The best thing in ANY scenario is to not always "play it off" or "distract them" this only works so many times before they realize you avoid that subject, every once in a while you need to have an excuse/evidence in place so that they don't think twice about it. 

You know your family/friends/partner better than I do, you know what excuses will and won't work, you know what you can/cannot get away with. Use what you have to your advantage (i.e. if your parents work late/home alone often/never go out/etc.) 

You want them to either be in denial about your habits or genuinely believe that you are eating, you just are "finicky" or "picky"
