I was questioned in high school in the 90s whether I had an eating disorder. I just ignore hunger until it goes away... I simply don't want food. I don't like to eat around other people, either. When I do eat, around 2am every day, I've really looked forward to it so it's pleasurable. But as a functional alcoholic I fully understand counting the minutes to something. This where "eating disorder" self control comes into play. I think of myself drunk just like I think of myself fat with a face covered in food in front of other people, and it's been enough to stop me for 20 years from hitting the bottle until work is over. On the subject of self control, everyone is a hero if you can find any at all.
