Internet hugs It's disgusting how they're co-opting eating disorder treatment for themselves. My mom spent years eating nothing but green apples and vanilla lattes. I ended up with anorexia nervosa, too, most likely due to being in between my mother and my grandma. My mother would feed me plain brown rice and call it a meal or just forget to feed me altogether because she wasn't eating; my grandma would create multiple snack platters and bowls of ice cream every single day and literally shove them into my hands so that she could say "Well Kahlo's having a snack, I can have one too!" Fucking terrible either way. But if either woman tried to start being all, "I'm beautiful the way I am! Full self acceptance!" I might've just up and gone all Lizzie Borden. Parents can really fuck up their kids, but once you're an adult it's your responsibility to get your shit together. No sympathy. I'm about 3 years into recovery now and it has been really, really hard. It may seem small to you but it is really helpful to see normal, not-on-an-ED-website people like you getting past their eating disorder.
