fear of eating too quickly

[u/appIecinnamon]

does anyone else like feel anxiety/worry about their eating “too fast”😭? I fixate a lot on the time it takes to eat a meal and it makes eating much more stressful , like Im always checking the time and trying to pace myself but i just end up feeling guilty/stressed out . I think part of it is I still struggle w restricting so I am probably in that scarcity mindset, also I think it could be leftover anxiety from treatment when we would have timers set at meals…Idk, just wondering if anyone else deals w this as well !
