SHUT UP!

I don't generally post publicly about my eating disorder, but I'm making this a public entry in the hopes that maybe people will read it and understand why commenting on other people's bodies needs to become socially unacceptable.

Lots of foul language and blatant abuse of capslock.

I am so sorry, Sara. I can't wait till you're out of there and somewhere better...

Also, if Riggs doesn't work you, you can come stay here, for free. And I will cook whatever you want to eat for you.

there seems to be some connection between the generation gap & insensitivity to body/food comments, at least in my opinion; my grandmother said some upsetting things at mother's day dinner tonight as well, and the end result was the same, although i, too, went in with the best of intentions.

this ignorance doesn't justify the harsh words, of course, and i empathize with how rough this was for you...they just don't understand, and they never will. i wish i had words of advice or comfort: "just think XYZ and it won't get to you" but, alas, i am at a loss. add the old farts who don't get eds to the fact that all men are pigs and there really isn't a way to reason with them

That is truly fucked up. I'm sorry you have to be around this. I take it even gently saying "Hey, this isn't the best stuff for me to be hearing right now" isn't conceivable?

this is exactly what my family friends and family do to me. its like ur grandfather just spilled out every conversation someone trys to talk to me about when im not in my home thats why i cant leave my house its to much. my grandmother last week told me that i should weigh my berries, my brothers counciler visited my brother and she said to me hes got so chubby probley from all that beer. and as his sister i do whatever i do to stick up for him because hes not fat and my dad was like i no to bad hes not the athletic one he just keeps eating. and then i go out one night and my moms best friends husband goes up to be and they all know i have eating issues and he says u watch that show keeping up with the kardashians im like yes i love it hes like kim got fat. this is the only girl i think has the most beautiful curvy body in holly wood and hes fat i mean fat fat fat so is my grandma so is my brothers councilor im talking about 200 lbs or more fat. im so angry so i go upstairs on the treadmill for the entire two hour dinner they had it

I'd like to put out there that I'm proud of you for even thinking all the caps-lock of doom up there, whether you said it to his face or not...

I fucking HATE talk about people's weight... regardless of which end it's going...

as always I'm in your corner. *holds up the boxing gloves for you to put on*
