joke

[confusedgirl]

so i know my moms kidding but sometimes she makes jokes about my eating, she doesnt realize how self conscious i am about it, so today after going to get something to eat since i havent eaten all day she made a joke about it, but it hurt so i stopped eating and walked away, i told her to stop before and dont know what eles to do...

My sister did the same today. I went downstairs to get something and she said "how did i guess you'd be eating again". I'd tried so hard not too eat so much and all my efforts seemed destroyed in that moment :/

i know what you mean i barely ate all day today and when i came home my mom told me i have a horrible diet and laughed when i went to eat a cookie so i put it down

Well my mom calls me fat ass 24/7 when she gets pissed,my dad teases me about my eating habits,and my brother always says"Eating again chubby?" -.- and I'm fucking anorexic..

[confusedgirl]

thats horrible! have you talked to them about it? no one should talk to you like especial family

[Resistance]

it's horrible when our parents do that, sometimes it hurts a lot and is that kind of jokes that makes us anorexic one day!

Your mom may not completely understand the effect that her jokes have on you. It might not be her intention to hurt you, and if she knew that she was than she may be reluctant to joke around about your eating again. I would sit down with her and have a serious talk, letting her know that your eating is a problem for you and that it really hurts your feelings when she jokes about it. Hopefully that will put an end to her jokes.

If it doesn't, though, then you'll simply have to learn not to let her get to you. I know it's easier said than done, but try to ignore her when and if she jokes after you talk to her about this. No one can make you feel bad about yourself unless you let them. Don't let her get to you.

Good luck with everything. :)

this happens to me all the time, i hate it!!! it makes it so much worse.. cuz then you feel so self conscious, and chubby that you decide.. hmm maybe i shouldn't eat. at school when i was forced by my one frieend to bring a lunch that was either a fruit or 4 crackers or a peice of bread with nutella all probably around 120 cals or less, i would go to at putting all my will power into eating then they would go omg!??! Songul is eating?!?!! she eats?!?!! wow this is a first.. then i would feel self conscious and fat and go put odwn wat i was eating say i wasn't hungry when i was or i felt sick, and throw the rest out... i still sometimes do this... my friend jeanette and my boyfriend nik also do this on occasion even in front of other people who don't even kno about my eating disorder like my other friends maggie and hannah... well guess what now they do.. thanx guys... they owuld talk about yea i got her to eat at my house oh i forced her to eat a bit at my house too. it's embarassing.. because i hate talking about my eating..
