Worry from Others- 6 yrs past
I have been free of the control of the eating disorder voice for about 6 years. However, I still have trouble maintaining my weight because of lasting effects of acid reflux and loss of appetite. I no longer have the desire to starve myself or purge, but I am certainly still underweight. I am very self conscious about it (YAY for not wanting to be skinny-mini!!) because I don't want to worry my family or friends. Just this weekend, my dad said I needed to eat more. That I was too skinny. Its hard, because I try to be healthy. Exercise a little and eat what tastes good. I am NOT trying to lose weight. And I find its hard to talk to people about wanting to gain weight because most people have the opposite problem. I don't know what I'm asking. I'm new here and just looking for someone to say...I understand. How are you curbing questions and worry from family when YOU know you are doing the right thing?
