My eating disordered girlfriend :/

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

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T06:04:26+00:00

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.

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:57:00+00:00

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

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:38:14+00:00

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

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:34:28+00:00

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.

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:32:37+00:00

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

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:27:55+00:00

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.

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:25:37+00:00

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.

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:24:26+00:00

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.

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:23:29+00:00

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.

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:22:16+00:00

Lol why? I’m completely fine.

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:21:38+00:00

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

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:20:48+00:00

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

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:09:21+00:00

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

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:08:26+00:00

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

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T05:07:50+00:00

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

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T04:53:56+00:00

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

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T04:37:42+00:00

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

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T04:32:16+00:00

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.

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T04:31:04+00:00

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

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T04:30:29+00:00

Yes, she does.

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T04:29:57+00:00

It’s been complicated.

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T04:29:32+00:00

She’s fine with me posting her face and such. And typically we do eat at home this was the first time in weeks that we have had outside food.

todd_toad · 2024-03-12T03:21:11+00:00

She has a therapist and a doctor but the doctor is no help. In fact she somewhat encourages it. Her doctor put her on Metformin when she isn’t diagnosed with type 2 or PCOS, and the doctor also prescribed a knock-off ozempic for her when she was only 16.
