When friend group activities trigger eating disorder behaviors

My college friend group always bonds over late-night food runs and competitive eating challenges, but I'm secretly struggling with food anxiety and these activities are becoming torture for me. I don't want to lose my friends, but I also can't keep pretending that our food-centered social life isn't affecting my mental health.

More people experience this than they realize.
