Dieting
I have a horrible time dieting. I seem to not be able to NOT eat alot. That is horrible but it is the truth, however, when I'm with someone else who doesn't eat alot I'm fine.
What is wrong with me?

I believe your problem is that you're either a boredom or emotional eater. When you're in the company of one who doesn't eat much then you're subconsciously aware of this and you have a motivation to not show you are a big eater so you play the part.
When you're alone then you have no motivation to not eat a lot so you let your emotions get the best of you and almost like kind of get a fix for your addiction so to speak. This is a problem that faces many people and its cure really comes down to developing a personal and spiritual discipline to kick the overeating habit and your enviornment plays a big role in this too- if you're around healthy people most of the time then most likely this is going to rub off on you and the same is true for unhealthy or careless eating people as well.
Also remember that dieting isn't about "Eating Less" but rather "Eating Better" and don't slave over the amount you eat but rather the quality of the foods you take in and your activity level.

Nothing is wrong with you. People tend to eat more when they are bored, or not with someone else like you are. Every time you get a craving for food, try to control yourself and do something else like read a book, go for a walk, etc. Also try to plan your meals and snacks ahead of time so you don't end up eating too much. But remember to never starve yourself.
I hope that this helped you. :)
