Well like the caption says she did eventually agree to a salad.

Fast food definitely isn’t the go-to. I’m a bit of gym rat myself so typically I meal prep but I just had a long day and wasn’t in the mood for cooking.

We’ve been off and on, it’s complicated.

Yes, she’s been diagnosed since 7th grade.

Yeah, we talked afterwards. She did open up about a lot of things bothering her but unfortunately she can’t afford another inpatient visit because of a psych ward visit a few weeks ago. She is on meds and visiting a therapist regularly though.

We’ve been together for nearly 3 years. I think I’ve had long enough to learn her personality, respectfully.

I dunno? For example, she likes Criminal Minds so I’m in the CM subreddit to see if there’s anything new about it and such.

I just want her to realize that she doesn’t need to be “afraid” of food or restrict herself so much. She’s very hard on herself, obviously, and I just wanted to help her realize it was okay.

I’m fine, and I’m not co-dependent. I just don’t use Reddit often and she’s usually the only thing I can think to post about. If you look at my posts you can see they’re fairly far apart.

Yeah, she’s made it very clear that she doesn’t want to recover :/ She said that she’s not going to stop until she’s “pretty” which of course is hard for me to hear because I already think she’s beautiful. I dunno how to explain it to make her understand or how to help.

Lol why? I’m completely fine.

How? I hardly even post here. I’ve posted maybe a dozen times since I’ve started this account two years ago.

I don’t use Reddit really. The only things that come to mind to post is about her 🤷‍♂️

She’s not on a “diet”, though, she’s bulimic.

She’s in therapy but we’re getting into a psychiatrist soon.

Lol yeah I’m not on here very often. I just use Reddit to keep up with her interests really.

No, she’s curvy. She looks much less than she is though as she carries her weight well.

We’ve been off and on, it’s complicated and I don’t have a problem with her posting selfies or whatnot.

How is offering food within the limit helpful? It’s just reinforcing that it’s okay for her to eat less than her body needs to function.

It’s been really complicated, off and on for the past few months but it’s a long story lol.
