Unhelpful comments (potential tw)

As I’m sure many other people do, I have “good” days and “bad” days when it comes to food. Today was one of my better days, although my better days generally just involve eating solely chocolate. Still, chocolate is better than nothing.

Anyway, my nan has a thing about “healthy” food. She watches absolutely tripe on tv, with all sorts of fad diets and stuff. Her relationship with food is absolutely fine, but she’s really judgy about what everyone else eats. She comments on my 12 year old brother’s weight all of the time, and while he is very slightly overweight, he is a 12 year old boy! When I’ve been restricting in the past and have been preparing my only meal of the day, she has just looked and gone “thats full of shit you know? Really bad for you” and then I haven’t eaten all day.

Anyway, I went to the cupboard to get my second chocolate bar of the day, and she takes me to the side and says “you need to eat healthier”. She tells me to eat something that she made earlier, but I don’t know what’s in that so I’m not gonna eat it! So I shut the cupboard door and ran back to my bedroom. I know this is going to result in days of severe restriction, and it really just pisses me off.
