vintagewitch | Grumblings over diet culture

Odin grant me the patience to deal with my mother's food + health obsession this weekend.

She knows that I'm in eating disorder recovery, but the food judgements and constant health worry is so deeply ingrained in her. I already gently told her to try not to voice judgements about food. We were talking about the book "Intuitive Eating," and she said "It's so high level. When I'm sitting at night and reading all I want is to eat chips, and that salty snack isn't good." I told her "hey, it would be helpful for me if you didn't voice judgements about food."

So, you know. This is going well.

I absolutely love my mom but this is hard.
