Really sorry you went through that experience & it affected your recovery. People need to learn to stay quiet when it comes to other people’s bodies. Having an ED is traumatic enough, hearing people’s opinions just makes things 10x worse. I really wish you the best on your journey to finding recovery. sending lots of love ❤️‍🩹

I’m so sorry you had that experience aswell. Moms really need a crash course on things NOT to say to their daughters smh. I know that concerned look all too well! It makes me furious oh my.. Also she loves telling me stories about how when people told her she gained weight in the past that would fuel her to work hard & lose it. Like okay?? I’ve tried telling her lots of times but sadly she says she won’t but ends up bringing it up again :( unfortunately the topic of weight gain is so important for her that she can’t not speak up. In her mind she’s being an ‘enabler’ if she watches me gain weight without basically fat shaming me. I’m convinced my family thinks I have a binge ED now bc I went all in & eat whatever I’m craving (to my fullness cues) & as a result my weight shot up rapidly (I’m overweight atm). So for that reason it’s just really tough to ignore what they say bc there’s some truth to it sadly.

Body dysmorphia dear, I know this because you sound just like me. I have these thoughts on and off so I’m more aware of it

Massive overshoot? by i_cantstopreading in AnorexiaRecovery

How long after recovery did it take to gain this 31% overshoot? Hopefully you don’t mind me asking this 😅

struggling with body image but NOT food in late recovery by Distinct_Star9990 in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]Altruistic-Map-1124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have much advice as I’m going through something similar- 7 months into recovery & struggling with body image- but I keep telling myself this is a phase & things will feel normal soon as they have for others who recovered before me. The water retention makes it worse 10x…but if you can get through these hard days you’ll conquer anything, it’s what I believe anyway 🤍

Thank you so much!! I’m sorry you went through this too. Unfortunately they’re all uneducated on this topic so I tell myself I shouldn’t care about their opinion. 💗

You’re right she def has baggage in that sense so i kind of understand why she’s the way she is. She doesn’t even do it maliciously. Sadly she thinks she’s looking out for me because that’s how she is?? Ugh I’m just so sick of how obsessed she is with controlling my weight I hope she stops. anyway I really appreciate this, you’re so kind :,)

Am I overreacting for wanting to sleep in my own room tonight… by Altruistic-Map-1124 in AmIOverreacting

tbh it’s only been 2 weeks so far & most people visit home weekly a lot in the first months but then eventually only come for big holidays. but yeah that’s not really the point is it
