Weight..

[KcCrystal]

Every day I hear, your too fat, don't eat that. I go to fix something to eat, and they say do you really need that? My god I can't even look at food with out someone saying something

Hang in there Crystal.....They should love you for who you are.And even if they cant...then LOVE yourself!!

We love you too...we dont care what you eat!

[namommy]

The next time they ask "Do you really need that?" Reply "What? food? well, only if I plan on staying alive." Jerks.

We love you just the way you are.

Don't listen to them. Love yourself and do what makes you happy. It's your life not theirs so make your own decisions and be satisfied with what you choose. Remember we love you for who you are.

I have experienced this too and got to a point where I felt guilty everytime I ate. There were times when I made poor choices about what to eat but I needed to be the one to straighten myself out. It didn't help when someone else was breathing down my neck. Keep doing what is right for you. You decide what you want to do for yourself. The right decisions will come to you when it is right for you.

Sorry to hear what you are going through. I have had many years of verbal abuse. I can remember being about a hundred ten pounds and my mother calling me wide load. That was when I was sixteen and even remember preteens being called lard ass and more. This coming from my overweight mother. It is very damaging. In recovery three years now also having back surgery twice I have gained a hundred pounds I am starting to lose now but I see myself making excuses not to see family on holidays because I don't want anyone to see me heavy. After all these years I am still dealing with these insecurities my mother instilled in me at such a young age. Your not alone girl. Just do your best to ignore them no matter what. Being a little heavy and clean is way better then skeleton and using. You just stay clean and eat what and when you want. Just moderation don't substitute food for drugs. I found myselof doing that for a time too. Stay away from the negitivity.

It's like I crave food when I'm depressed, I just want to eat to shut the world out.. That is my addiction, food.. I'm not super heavy, I'm at 216, which at my height is a bit over, but I take into acount I'm big boned.. I have alot of trouble moderateing what I eat, and Once I start with something I can't put it down till it's gone..

Weight is a very sensitive issue Krystal. Hop on over to the eating disorder forum where we talk about just those kinda of things. Using food to fill a need we have. I am an addict, I have been clean from drugs and drinking for over 9 years now, my addiction comes out with food now.

It is not about who says what to you it is about how you feel about yourself.

you know what our friend Chy says....nothing changes if nothing changes.
