Eat in front of people

Don't talk about food

Don't talk about weight

Make food for other people- "eat" a little, and spit it out when you go to the kitchen to get some water

Spread food around to make it look like you've eaten

"Share" your food with the dog by "spilling" some food on the table- can't eat it now

Convince others and yourself that your stomach growling is from having eaten something recently

Drink plenty of water, tea, juice, or skim milk

Water down everything you drink; it lasts longer, you have more, with the same number of calories (or less) per serving

Look at magazines with "disgust" and shake your head at all the thin models, talking about how sorry you feel for them

Be the nicest, most responsible person ever (it feels good to hear your parents and teachers talk about how you're such a pleasure)

I know it's hard, but don't seclude yourself

Tell people you're not in the mood to eat, or that you're not hungry

Be happy. If you're not happy, pretend.

Do things that will put you in a good mood
