I'll start by saying I was raised in the typical finish everything on your plate or you won't get dessert type of household. Took a long time, struggling with health and nutrition to get to where I am today.
I can proudly say on a BMI scale I am officially a healthy weight of 190Lb, down from 230Lb.
My current living situation is with my parents since I am just starting out in my trade.
So tonight my mother approached me and "said you should eat something like a bag of chips you look so hollow"
I have explained to her that I can't since I struggle with binge eating disorder. I stay on a strict ketogenic diet and maintain my current weight through calorie counting.
It was at this point she became combative trying to convince me I look sick and she doesn't support what I'm doing. I got defensive and said "this was fun, let's talk about your weight now." She shut down and grabbed a bowl of fruit loops and went to bed. I feel disapointed in myself knowing I could have handled the situation a bit better, but two years ago I would have binged and hated myself for it.
Today I know who I am and am proud of myself. Don't let people get you down folks. Thank you for the read.
