Triggered by a minor comment my best friend made yesterday, should I tell her..

Struggling

Yesterday I was hanging out with my friend group and my best friend randomly brought up her step count which then triggered the others to also bring them up. I dont know but anything to do with steps and stuff is kinda triggering as I obsessively counted steps when I was deep in my ED so I didnt check mine and just kinda went silent.

Then my best friend went on to say "I miss when we partied alot back then cause we walked alot so our bodies were lowkey tea" and that just made me very uncomfortable cause she is fully aware of my history with anorexia and I've confided in her about previous situations where triggering comments have been made by family so I just immediately felt kinda disappointed. I felt a bit off around her the rest of the day but tried to hide it just to keep the peace yk

But today I'm considering asking her to meet so I can bring it up but I dont know if I should, I dont want her to feel bad and I also feel like im just making a big deal out of nothing cause idk it is kinda minor and I am projecting due to my own illness. At the same time I want to bring it up now cause I dont want this to build into resentment, I also am in a more regulated state emotionally now so I think I can talk about it "better" than forexample yesterday

What do you guys think. Plz help
