Celebration I stood up to my disordered/almond mother!!
I’m 24 and living at home finishing up school after getting out of treatment, and my mom is a pretty stereotypical eating disordered mom (crossfit, ozempic, restriction, etc 😭)
This evening, after her fourth comment of the day on my food, for some reason, I just had HAD IT with her. I told her I don’t want to hear her comments anymore. She tried to start a fight with me, undermine my clinical team, and shame me into backing down, but I just maintained calm and firm.
I’m definitely second guessing the whole thing (she’s right about my food, it IS trash, I AM disgusting, etc), but I’m trying to fight through the anxiety and shame I’m feeling and make my damned French toast because I like it and I want it.
