Self-Conscious.
I am VERY self-conscious. For example, I don't like to eat infront of anybody(except my family). I don't eat lunch at school, because I don't like people around me watching me eat.
I'm a chunky kid, and I don't eat very much. But I know when i eat i can just mentally picture everyone saying, "Omg, ew, she's so fat. She should be eating those chips!" And the reality is, I KNOW that the people i sit with wouldn't say that. But at that moment, I still feel like they are.
Is there anything I can do to overcome my self esteem problem?
And don't say, "Just get over it." Because that won't work.

I feel the exact same way. I always feel that people are looking at me 24-7 and judging me on everything that i do. (i.e. i think when people laugh that they are always laughing at me for some stupid reason). But dont worry about it! Obviously, there are a whole bunch of other people eating at lunch, and i doubt that not one of them are looking about and thinking "why is that girl eating??". Its only normal for people to eat. If it makes you feel better, you can always just take small bites at a time, and bring in healthy food.
And hey, eat as much as you want, unfortunately, you only live once.

you've gotta be happy with yourself, first. if your still concious, its alright, have a late lunch at home, its normal; so many people deal with the same thing everyday.
hope i helped?

Your freinds should not judge you like that if they are real freinds, though i can understand what you mean.
A way to overcome that self-consciousness could be to bring vegitables and fruit to lunch and eat them....therefore you can get some nutrients into your body, and eat something in front of your friends.....to help you feel better about it there is nothing unnutritional about them soo no one can judge you by eating them.
Then slowly you can work your way up to other food items....maybe rice cakes, crakers, salad, ect. Finally you can chose other maybe more satisfying items that are also good for you...all the while you are working on your fitness as well as your consiousness! :)
It really isnt good for you to not eat lunch or skip a meal, in fact i think its better to instead eat more times during the day but in lesser portions. When people skip meals they generally tend to eat more the next meal they eat which doesnt help them as they think it is.
I hope you consider the idea. Your freinds wont judge you however it isnt good to not eat, and eating healther food items will help your selfconsiousness and health :)
Good luck i hope this helps!

Nobody is going to care about what you eat, but if this is really bothering you try eating healthy foods at school if you are really worried about it, some of the healthy stuff is actually a lot better than a bag of chips. So please start eating, you'll get sick if you don't. Don't worry about what people say.

Dont care about what they say , you HAVE to eat! PLEASE, OMG eat! You are effecting your body because of stupid peoples opinions! And i know you cant get over it, i understand , i cant eat in front of people either, i do get self concience. BUT i eat, for my own bodies sake. I dont care what people say about me. Have them say what they say, dont even care about it. Fcuk what they say. EAT!
I hope I helped!

My friend is also like that...She mainly overcame it be her friends telling her that it was ok to eat and that they wouldn't say a word about it...My friends and I helped her through the whole close...Don't be afraid to ask your friends for support...Trust me...If their your friends...They'll be there for you and their completely understand...Everyone's self-concscious about something...

well you could try eating healthier stuff at lunch. like some fruit or a sandwich or a yogurt. try to stay away from the chips and desserts. nobody will make fun of you if they see you making an effort.
