Ok. Here goes.

You're not going to magically one day be able to eat in front of people. The first step has to be from you. EAT SOMETHING WITH THEM IN THE ROOM. You MUST if you want to start this ball rolling. Take a Cheez It, slice of apple, anything...something small and just eat it while they're in the room. No one is going to be looking at you...people have other things on their mind and you're not the center of their attention. Talk yourself through it. What's going to happen when you eat something in front of them? What is the WORST possible scenerio? You'll choke? Doubtful. They'll watch your every move? Also doubtful. Take the first steps man...only you can take charge of this. You don't need a psych...all of what you need to get through this is your courage. Even if it's just a sliver.

Maybe give them food as well? Walk into the room with grapes or something...offer them some, when they grab a few and pop them in their mouths' you do the same. You don't have to sit there and devour an entire cow in front of them...in fact, maybe you only eat a couple and move on.

You have to actively DO something towards progress man. Or nothing is going to happen except maybe this getting way worse.
